An odd little facebook sequential math problem has popped up gain, and today I noticed something interesting that escaped my attention before.

You are incorrect, sir. 968 + 11 = 40?
May I ask what escaped your attention?
8 + 11 = 40?
May I ask what escaped your attention?
My apologies! I never would have seen that. So we'll have to split the prize.Addition only, adding the correct answer to the previous total. Seems like that would also yield a "correct" answer of 40.
I'm going to go with 19 and assume that the middle two lines are there just to confuse those who want to imagine additional numbers that aren't shown. Haha.
n + 24 * INT(ln(n)/ln(5))Since that one was over so quickly, here's a series operation question. You have a series that uses algebraic functions to convert n = 1, 2, 3, ... into the series results. For example, the operator n*(n+1) would result in a series 2, 6, 12, 20, ...
The resultant series is 1, 2, 3, 4, 29, ... What is the operator?
Question: "What's two and two?"
Mathematician: "That's easy. Four."
Computer scientist: "No, two AND two is two. If he'd said 'two PLUS two', it would be four."
Lawyer: "For $1000, what would you like it to be?"
n + 24 * INT(ln(n)/ln(5))
I think lawyers charge more for the service of bending facts.
But a good statistician can make data turn out how YOU want it to be and thats priceless![emoji3]
