Try this... and fail... :)

6->3
8->4
12->6
18->?

Hint: It's not 9....

If you get the correct answer you'll have to justify it!

 

[Warrigal]

18->10

 

[CAKCy]

18->10

I'm sorry. No.

 

[CAKCy]

The problem in its simplified form is:

6->3
12->6
18->?

Hint: It's not 9....

If you get the correct answer you'll have to justify it!

 

[Judycat]

Zero?

 

[PamfromTx]

Nine? Ooops, I guess not.

 

[Pepper]

What does it mean when there is a dash before the greater than symbol? Or is that an arrow and not a greater than symbol?

 

[ohioboy]

36

 

[Pepper]

I agree with ohioboy. 36.
3x2=6
4x2=8
6x2=12
18x2=36

It's not a greater than symbol, right? And thinking it is confuses the "pattern" insinuated.

 

[PamfromTx]

6÷3=2​

18÷6=3​

72÷18=4​

( )÷72=5​

72×5=360​

I have always loved math, etc. It may be wrong, but... who cares?!?

 

[CAKCy]

Zero?

You just love to nullify everything!

 

[CAKCy]

Nine? Ooops, I guess not.

I'm sorry! No.

Yes, it's an arrow.

36

I was.
22 years ago!

It's wrong. But... who cares?!?

Didn't know the answer so I took my best guess.

6->3
8->4
12->6
18->?

The arrow means a number is greater than the one it points to.
6 is greater than 3 and so on. Since we do not know what 18 is greater than we use "n" in math.

 

[PamfromTx]

I'm just kidding, @CAKCy , but I think you also need a bath of raw eggs. Sorry, couldn't resist. You'll soon see that I am silly and nutty.

 

[CAKCy]

Didn't know the answer so I took my best guess.

Whoa! And THAT was your best guess???
The question wasn't "what's CAKCy's IQ"!!!!!

I'm sorry .... nnnnnnnnnnnnnO!

A bath of raw eggs wouldn't do anything to me (other than a silky skin).
What I need is tar and feathers!

You are stringing everyone along
In your world it may be wrong BUT in the world of mathematics it is correct!
Now where are those eggs Pam?

 

[FastTrax]

Information overload......................................



Does not compute....................................

Be careful! This is becoming a conspiracy!!
