Can GD do basic MathS? :p

Oh oh, new controversy....

Look at the shadow cast by the apples.

The shadow is different in line two, but the relative position of the rest of its features looks correct.

That apple in line two might not equal 10, which means a bunch of four bananas does not equal exactly 4. ;) :D

Lol it's not like these are abstract symbols and suddenly seeing 3 bananas instead of 4 is a completely different thing. It's a test of observation. You know what a banana is and you're capable of recognising that in one picture there are three of them and in another there are four so that line of reasoning doesn't work.

You're happy to assign a value to an individual apple when there are three of them but you're not happy to assign a value to eight bananas because they're arranged in two bunches...

Did you design the test?

Unless the person who created it posts stating exactly what the parameters are, then you can't categorically state that any answer is correct. It may be a test of maths. It may be a test of observation. Or it may be a test of critical thinking. Only the person who created it can say for sure.

So... using that logic:

1111 = 1111
2222 = 2222

Therefore:

111 = 833.25?
222 = 1666.5?

etc?

Problem is it's not 4 bananas = 4, it's "a bunch of 4 bananas" = 4. Who knows what "a bunch of 3 bananas" =

No, using my logic you assign a value of 1 to each banana, rather than 4 to a bunch of bananas. So a bunch of 4 bananas = 4, and a bunch of 3 bananas = 3.

It absolutely is 4 bananas, rather than a bunch.

If you want to sit and pick holes in a test like this then of course you could do it all day. Don't pretend you're smarter than everyone else by picking out holes you think no one else has seen.

Touch a nerve did I? :p

It absolutely is a bunch of 4 bananas. The bananas are not separate entities, otherwise they would have been displayed as such, (like the apples in the first line).

But we have no way or telling what a single coconut or 3 bananas are worth. The logical answer would be 13 but there is no way to know.

the logical answer would be 14

and why are you OK with being able to assign a value to a single apple but not a single banana?

There are no single bananas in the image...

For all we know, there may have been a bulk discount on bananas!

I didn't state there were single bananas in the image

you're overthinking it a bit too much and again the silly objection applies to apples as well...
