How much is an ice cream cone deserving ? In this visual enigma by Budapest - based creative person Gergely Dudás ( who post comics onDudolf.com ) , the response ask a little math .
The riddle asks you to determine how much an ice cream cone cell , a scoop of white - coloured ice pick ( let ’s call it vanilla ) , and a scoop of pink - colored ice cream ( permit ’s call it strawberry ) are worth , according to the logical system of the puzzler .
Stare at the equations for a while , then scroll down for the answer .
Ready ?
Are you certain ?
OK , countenance ’s take the air through this .
Three ice emollient cones multiplied together are adequate to the routine 27 . Since 3 multiplied by 3 multiplied by 3 equal 27 , each cone must be equal to 3 .
move on to the next row , two ice pick cones each topped with a scoop of vanilla ice pick added together adequate 10 . So since each cone equals 3 , the vanilla extract scoops must each adequate 2 . ( In other quarrel , 3 plus 3 plus 2 plus 2 equate 10 . )
Now , a double max of vanilla extract on a cone plus a unmarried scoop of strawberry on a cone equals 11 . So if a double - scoop of vanilla equal 4 ( 2 plus 2 ) and each conoid is equal to 3 , the strawberry mark scoop must be 1 . ( Because 4 plus 6 match 10 , plus 1 for the strawberry mark scoop equals 11 . )
And ultimately , one vanilla extract scoop on a cone cell , plus one empty cone , plus a dual - scoop of strawberry mark and a single scoop of vanilla extract on a retinal cone , all together equals 15 . One scoopful of vanilla extract on a cone is adequate to 5 ( 2 plus 3 ) , and an empty cone is equal to 3 . Two strawberry scoops plus one vanilla extract goop plus one cone can be aim as 1 plus 1 plus 2 plus 3 ( which occur out to 7 ) . So together , one vanilla easy lay ( 5 ) plus one cone ( 3 ) plus a triple scoop with two strawberry mark and one vanilla extract on a cone ( 7 ) equals 15 .
And there you have it .
