Math and Peanut Allergy

Posted by A738a on April 9, 2016

Math is not my strong suit. There, I said it. Every time I see a math problem; my heart beats very fast, I start to perspire and I gasp for air. I feel like somebody needs to discover a cure for it. Maybe an allergy shot for example. You know, something like they've got for an anaphylactic shock; that's just a big, fancy word for having a severe allergy attack. I'll be their #1 investor if they do. I promise. On my honor! I just gave you guys a million dollar idea. You're welcome! Anyway, I don't know why I'm doing this, but here I go again.

If:

(3,5) = 158

(1,9) = 910

(8,6) = 4814

(4,4) = 168

Then

(3,7) = ??

Can't...
breathe...

ARRRGH...

Dear Syubidupapap!

3 times 5 equals 15.

3 plus 5 equals 8. --> 158

The answers is pretty much clear now, ain't it?

P.S. What a curious nick! =]

Got it. A little bit extreme, though. But safety first, I guess. By the way, I thought by 'intruder' you meant like, someone who enters the premises of a school zone illegally.

Join the club. Up high!
"Peanut butter"? Such a delicious code for an intruder alert, don't you think? =]

Nice blog

But I think the question must be written with the following format:

If:

(3,5) = 158

(1,9) = 910

(8,6) = 4814

(4,4) = 168

Then:

(3,7) = ?

Because from the mathematical point of view, the addition sign (+), has its own meaning and you may not write the non-addition relation or proportion between several numbers with the addition sign. So THE ADDITION SIGN (+) JUST MEANS ADDING TWO NUMBERS (in any base) and not else.

Thanks for sharing
