RE: Can you solve this?

in #puzzle6 years ago (edited)

I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me @kaleem345, but I think I understand.

If we are to look at the quantity of bananas and the time on the clock, we should also look at the shape with the same level of detail. The shape in #1 & #2 is a bundle of three shapes, but in #4 it's a bundle of two. If #1 is 45, then each shape bundle is 15. Each of the three shapes in the bundle would then be 5 if we give equal weight to each shape, just like we give equal weight to each hour and each banana.

But you are seeing the shape bundle as the quantity of the SIDES of the shapes, not quantity of the shapes themselves. I see this as an extra level of depth that is not necessary in this puzzle. Since we are looking at hours on the clock and bananas in the bunch, for the shape bundle we can logically only go one level deeper. If we follow your logic, we have to go two levels deeper for the shape bundle, and there's nothing in the puzzle to suggest we should:

Clock > Hours
Bunch > Bananas
Bundle > Individual Shape > Sides

#4 has one hour subtracted from the clock, one banana subtracted from each bunch, and one shape subtracted from the shape bundle. If each shape bundle is 15, then each shape is 5.

However, the puzzle does suggest that each element in each symbol has a value of 1. This would suggest that we ARE supposed to look at the sides of the shape, as each side would be a value of 1, just like each hour and each banana. But as I said, to do that you would have to go an extra level of detail deeper, and there's nothing in the puzzle to say we should. There's also nothing to say that we shouldn't, so 35 and 38 are both valid answers in my opinion.
