Posted by: thetank Insert Quote 25 times 11 is 275 then add the one and the five to get 281 then add another 2 for a laff coz it's a daft question. I thought that too lmao Title: Re: question from the great british quiz Post by: roverthtaeh on December 09, 2006, 08:17:29 PM I got to 293.
Using the number of letters in the words 'apple' and 'apples', then adding the actual numbers on. 1 x 5(apple) = 5 5 x 6(apples) = 30 11 x 6(apples) = 66 25 x 6(apples) = 150 Hence 42 + 251 = 293. Gotta be worth half a pint.
