A Math Problem

Filed under: Mathematics — Administrator @ 9:07 am

If:
2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96

Then:  9 + 7 = ????

It took me, what? 15 seconds? 30 seconds? 3 minutes?. It was fascinating how my subconscious grasped the answer, but then it took 1/4 second to 2 seconds for me to identify explicitly the pattern needed to get the answer and to put the answer into words.
