Add the numbers in the Triangle

This is wrecking my head, i got 993 and found 10 traingles.

I must be missing out on one as i am told the answer is not correct

anyone get anything else?

thomaskearns · 03-07-2009 1:05am

i got the exact same answer.. im fully sure theres no more than 10 in it... it must be some sort of con... 993 is defo right...

brightkane · 03-07-2009 1:07am

cheers for the reply, tried to google something similar but couldnt find one!

amacachi · 03-07-2009 1:08am

It's the only answer I can see, though they might be looking for ya to add the individual digits. Did someone who got through give 993 as the answer?

thomaskearns · 03-07-2009 1:10am

yeah 2-3 people called in and gave it.... it must be a pure fix

brightkane · 03-07-2009 1:13am

yeah loads have given 993, some answered are mind boggling. 2 mins ago someone did just ryhme off all the numbers

thomaskearns · 03-07-2009 1:14am

if its individual numbers in each one then its 174.. so it has to be 174 since 993 was said to be wrong...

amacachi · 03-07-2009 1:14am

Individual digits.

brightkane · 03-07-2009 1:15am

yeah if there was a space between the numbers we would be looking at it differently... ring in..

sh1t, some1 just said 174!! and its wrong!

thomaskearns · 03-07-2009 1:16am

nope 174 was just said to be wrong.. feck this im going to bed... post the answer here when they give it so i can have a look tomorrow and see how they got it...

brightkane · 03-07-2009 1:18am

Maybe add that to the 993 as well? Or maybe only some of the individual digits count seperately as they're a slightly different font?

Last guy said 77615 :eek: jasus.

amacachi · 03-07-2009 1:23am

brightkane · 03-07-2009 1:24am

cant listen to this guy any more but i need to know the anwer before i sleep!

anyone got national school books to get the answer, since he said it came from there!

dodzy · 03-07-2009 1:26am

Screw the cash prize... I say the winner gets to slap the host. Hard.:mad:

brightkane · 03-07-2009 1:27am

hes on a red bull o/d, thats for sure,

are we agreed 10 triangles?

dodzy · 03-07-2009 1:31am

1 x 5
4 x 1
3 x 2
2 x 3

Yup. Unless i'm pissed, I make it 10

thomaskearns · 03-07-2009 1:34am

HAQ.. i just remember i have sky plus.. *record* i'll be seeing you in the morning mister answer.. here i come bed!!

Tar.Aldarion · 03-07-2009 1:36am

No, there are more than 10 triangles. Just count em. or are there? muahahaha
Also where is this 993 and 174 stuff coming from, are we not literally adding the numbers? What is going on?

brightkane · 03-07-2009 1:36am

How many is there Tar?

Tar.Aldarion · 03-07-2009 1:38am

Only messing didnt try it let apart from jsut adding the numbers, which is what we are meant to do??? Where are these crazy answers coming from. Is this from one of the channels that have crap like, where theya re just tricking you up on words? Ah I see now.

brightkane · 03-07-2009 1:40am

we make it there are 10 triangles in total in that main traingle, add up the numbers in each brings u to 993, but its wrong,

Come on Tar, where ? and the 993 is based on the x10 triangles combo. I'm guessing that the 174 is individual digit combos.

drco · 03-07-2009 1:42am

993 seems to be correct but there are technically more than 10 triangles

Headspace · 03-07-2009 1:43am

I count 10 where are the noot so obvious triangles

Tar.Aldarion · 03-07-2009 1:44am

If there are more than 10 then the 993 number changes based on that method. You can give lots of answers here, such as the number being 42 etc.

Greenmachine · 03-07-2009 1:45am

I can't make my mind up between 914 and 708.

drco · 03-07-2009 1:47am

if you think of the triangles as overlaid pieces of paper, then for example the number 25 is on its own triangle with 34 lying on top of it. When looked at that way there are several more. But he says not to count any number more than necessary - what does that mean

Add the numbers in the Triangle
