Fun:** (2.09)
Difficulty:** (1.27)



A family has 3 bikes, 2 cars, 4 wagons, and 1 unicycle. How many wheels are there altogether?

Answer:

33 wheels

3 X 2 for the bikes = 6
2 X 4 + 2 for the cars = 10
4 X 4 for the wagons = 16
+ 1 for the unicycle

6 + 10 + 16 + 1 = 33

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. :)

I got 35 wheels, both of my cars have spares. :wink:

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

Posted by Munch06/16/04

i'm not even going to ask how hulagirl decided this teaser was gross; i thought it was ok, but i think you can do better! 8)

Are the extra two for the cars for the spare tires? :-?

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. :D

Posted by sweetime05/24/05
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...

this teaser is not suppose 2 b in da trick category, its suppose 2 b in da maths category instead. :roll:

this wasn't a trick kinda question

Posted by deepsea08/02/05

Posted by EnderofGames12/14/05
I also included the one in the question :lol: Great teaser!

Spare tires,,, ok, what about the steering wheels?

Posted by Psychic_Master04/28/06
I added spare tyres...ah well, good teaser!

Posted by achnid07/14/06
I saw trick and thought 0 wheels. It's a junk yard and they were all removed.

Posted by boodler07/27/06
What about the steering wheels for the wagons? :-? :-? :-? Surely there are spares to be taken into account as well! :wink: :wink: 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 :( :(

much too easy after the hint. shoulda left the hint out, i woulda liked it better :(

Posted by brainglewashed07/22/07
i already got it before the hint and then this was my reaction :o :x :x :x

Posted by petey12701/18/08
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!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Posted by Dino03/30/09
What about Fly-wheels? Thats the thing that spins the transmission then your wheels and makes your car go when you hit the gas. :-?

Posted by gottalovetacsc06/20/09
Is the trick that there is no trick? :lol:

Posted by jello442611/06/09
this belongs more in the "math" teaser section. good teaser though :)

Posted by mathisnice03/08/10
It doesn't belong in Math, but the hint was more like an answer. :lol: Otherwise, good job.
