Explanation?

4 lines over the bulb time the three rings.

Dumb. So they change the symbols on the last equation.

Except the numbers on the bottom calculator are 1224, not 1234 like the top ones. Also, I don’t know if the light beams

Almost right

Those are more "Spot the difference" than math.

Agree

cheezedawg

7/6/20 10:57am

Yep I missed the difference in the clocks on the upper row

cougarfann888

7/6/20 10:58am

I missed the difference in the calculators when I first did it

cheezedawg

7/6/20 11:00am

I missed the subtraction in the light bulb row.

That's harder than what you think, for a lot of people

I'm going with 414 or 30,384

Explanation if you are interested

cheezedawg

7/6/20 11:03am

I think the lightbulb one is dumb and not sure how that’s supported.

cougarfann888

7/6/20 11:15am

you're just having to notice that there are 5 rays in the light bulb line versus 4 in the bottom equation

Bob Vance

7/6/20 12:58pm

Correct you have to assume equal distribution. You could just as easily

cougarfann888

7/6/20 1:38pm

Like in my response above, we can assume the light beam difference is intentional. But only the original creator really

NWCoug

Yeah agree.

You also missed the bottom of the lightbulb rows - See response above

AFewThoughts

7/6/20 12:14pm

Yeah- the rings weren’t clear enough to me on the small bulbs for me to count them for sure so I just went with rays
