I submitted a teaser many months ago just like this one(it was called "Wheels"), except I only asked how many wheels a car had.
Good job though.

HULAGIRL- what was so dunb about it? If you wanted a challenge, you wouldn't have read the hint. It was an AWESOME teaser!

The hint was the answer

I knew it was 33 but then went back and read it again and thought the trick was the wording of how many wheels all together. Since none actually touch each other, it could also be 0. Either way, good job.

i did the same as froggygg - the question doesn't ask how many wheels are THERE ALTOGETHER, it asks how many wheels are ALL TOGETHER, which is an entirely different question...

I saw trick and thought 0 wheels. It's a junk yard and they were all removed.

What about the steering wheels for the wagons? Surely there are spares to be taken into account as well!

3 bikes @ 2 each = 6 wheels

2 cars @ 4 road wheels, 1 steering wheel, and 1 spare wheel = 12 wheels

4 wagons, wheels as cars = 24 wheels

1 unicycle = 1

total 43 wheels

i already got it before the hint and then this was my reaction

after the hint it was a math teaser, not a trick. and for those who say "don't read the hint then", HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE HINT WAS GONNA BE THAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

What about Fly-wheels? Thats the thing that spins the transmission then your wheels and makes your car go when you hit the gas.

Is the trick that there is no trick?
