Reply to Steve Gardner's Post: Hi Steve, it is the wrong answer. I have tried this one already. You need to think outside the box. It is not 58, 59, 60, 61, 13, 8, 9, 0, 4, or 62.

Give it another go!

Sorry. Didn't know I had to think outside the box. I'm just answering the question that you posed.

Reindeer have 4 hooves 4x6=24
5x4=20
Days inbetween 24th and 27th is 2
3x4=12

Total is 58 unless you are in some bizarro parallel universe. Good luck.



Thanks very much and good luck.

Hi again, it is still the wrong answer. It is from a quiz and we have been trying to get the answer for 3 weeks? Maybe you can see something else in the question that we can't.

I think this is part of 'The Great Big British Quiz' on Sky TV in the UK. Usually it's a particularly clever conundrum.



Thanks very much and good luck.

My guess is that 'ADD THE NUMBERS' could mean adding the number embeded in the statements, i.e.

six + five + four + twnty seven + three + four = 49

(sixpence is not a number word).

Reply to Steve Gardner's Post: Yes it is part of this quiz, and I am stumped! Have tried so many different answers, after what I thought was the obvious answer, and listened to so many other people come up with loads of the same or different answers.

I have been informed by one of my fellow experts that reindeer have split hooves. So each reindeer actually has 8. This will add 24 for a total of 82.

Is that available?



Thanks very much and good luck.
