Great teaser.
The word digit is misleading. If you add the digits in eleven, the answer is two. Digits refer to the number without place value.
that was confusing. 1+1 doesn't equal eleven. you should have said something else

I think the word "added" is misleading. "Put together" would have been a better phrase.
Misleading, but is a trick...

that't one was a trick.but a bit misleading
sheesh everyone's so technical. I thought it was good teaser
i was thinking along those lines, but like other people when i tried to "put" 1 together i got 111, because if you add 1 together you get 3.
good idea though

Incorrect, if you have three digits all being "1" they would add up to three. Using "11" makes the inital statement false as "11" is a separate digit, and not the same as "1." Try harder.
