Number Puzzle made by a 4 Year Old! - TheDubWubCub - Aug 23, 2014

Hello HF! 😁

So I use Dollar shave club & once a month they send you this little booklet that has interesting stuff in it, (puzzles, facts, random stuff).
The one I recently got had a puzzle that was made by a 4 year old & I thought it was pretty cool & also thought you guys would like it too! 🤗

Try to solve it before looking up the answer haha, it took me about 20 minutes haha, but I was over-thinking it!🤮

Here it is:

2+3=5

1+11=5

7+3=3

Less 5 minutes to solve;)

That's a good puzzle. Not too difficult to figure out. I think working with different bases is helpful. I have not checked the official answer, but I think I know how it works.
I also got 5, 5, 3.

This reminds me of one that is more difficult that I solved in a competiton.

It is called "Decitroll"

Here it is:

BED97 CAF8DD = C96DD777AB
DA9
DDD667 = ???


Post what you think the answer is.
For an extra challenge,
C98D7B * 89CA67 = ???
Good luck! 🎉

Being a programmer who is very familiar with base, I read the first 3 numbers (the top left, top right, and second-to-top-left) and figured it out. Wasn't hard.

I found the source code of it, but I still can't seem to figure it out haha oh well, nice post! 😁

Lol you are overthinking this.🤣
Not the same 'decitroll' I guess. The one I provided is extremely easy to solve compared to what you linked to.
Keep working at it 👍

Pretty sure it's the source code, but if you say so haha.
My first thought was to convert letters to #'s (A=1,B=2,C=3...) but I realized that wasn't it... what I didn't realize at the time was that A didn't equal 1... it equaled 0 haha.

DA9 DDD667 = BADBADBAD

89CA67 = C66B669CC8F7

Thanks for posting this! :D
