for geniuses

this one is doing the google+ and facebook rounds.

what do you think the answer is and why.




i think it is 69 because adding the lines of digits ie
111 = 3
112 = 4
113 = 5
and so on.
the numbers on the right go up in 10's ie .10 +3=13, 20+4=24, 30+5=35 etc
which makes the last one 117=9 therefor 60+9 =69.

what do you think?

They are going in order by a factor of 11 on the right. :)

116 = 68
117 = 79

i think there are two answers as mine is also correct. and 69 is my favorite number so im sticking with mine

Posted something stupid, took another look and noticed something, deleted that BS. Second try: Both Julian and Shawn are right but Julian you forgot that 116 is missing. It must be 116 = 68 and 117 = 79.

possibly but we have to assume 116 got the ban hammer so bumping 117 as the next step in the sequence.

also that would make it 68 if it is factors of 11
so im closest. but no cigar. i dont smoke

Could be either I suppose, but to bad there's not an official answer.

I'm still sticking with 79 though.
