Very tricky.

40?

Correct answer

[Eddy Munny]

40 looks valid but I also arrived at 92 because:

If you multiply the the sets of numbers (rather than add) you then add numbers starting with 1 and increasing by 1 each set.

1 x 4 = 4 Add 1 = 5

2 x 5 = 10 Add 2 = 12

3 x 6 = 18 Add 3 = 21

8 x 11 = 88 Add 4 = 92

After I saw 92 I figured it out also but still think the progression works for 40 also? No???

I guess you similarly get 96 (instead of 92) if you add the first number of each equation after multiplying.

40 and 96 both work I guess its a matter of perspective


sounds like the author of the problem or at least the OP believes it to be 96

[Mike Huntertz]

I'll move on for this one, I love these brain teasers.
Stay safe!

I got that one finally as well, took me a while though.. Had to finally think hard and figure that eight and ate sound the same but mean different things.. TRICKERATION RIDDLE!!!

Cows don't eat chickens though so that's what really took me longer to figure it out..
