Random Teaser! I had no idea what the answer was. Thanks for making me think before my first cup of coffee. I am still not sure I get this one, but math and numbers were never my forte. Nice work!
i didn't get it at first i had to read it again (as in4 times) to get it
I had to re-read the answer 3 times to fully understand the answer. Then it hit me; absolutely 61 is the answer. Well done, continue on!
Easy but fun
i dont get it i think i will lay off those which sentence is true for awhile!
