Here’s a problem that’s part of a math exam in India. You need to select three numbers (no more, no less), from a list to add up to thirty. Here’s the list of numbers (you can use them more than once): 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15.
1,3, and 9.
1+1+1 +3+3+3+9+9=30
That's using only 3 numbers :)
11
11
5
3
Seems like theres alot of ways this could be solved, if using 3 numbers more than once. I like it...made me think a little bit

In the link provided, it is 13/21.
Is it ONLY 3 numbers we can choose?

It says, only one person got it correct.

So if you look at #13, it looks like this >>
_+_+_=30
There are only 3 spots you can use (?) but you can use the same number more than once.
Say what? (lol)

UNREAL !!!!! They cant even get the question correct >> link:://solution-dailybrainteaser.blogspot.com/2014/12/upsc-puzzle-question.html
5,5 + 9,5 + 15 = 30 :question:
I used only 5, 9 and 15 >:D
Good example of "outside the box" thinking
