the most of us had already our fun with that at facebook but i think it could be intersting here at the forum too.
so, what is the result of that?

Obviously it is a trick question and the answer is a Llamacorn!! But, allowing for a few beers and some champagne I'm going for 21 (exactly my age).
Hello Sascha, although I detested maths at school, I enjoyed this one:
One horse = 10
One horseshoe = 2
One cowboy boot = 1
Two cowboy boots = 2
First row: 10 + 10 + 10 = 30
Second row: 10 + 4 [<- 2 x 2]+ 4 [<- 2 x 2] = 18
Third row: 4 [<- 2 x 2] – 2 [<- 2 x 1] = 2
Fourth row: 1 + 10 x 2 = 11 x 2 = 21
If this is the correct solution, I will revise my opinion concerning maths.

sadly the perfect answer. but i find it very interesting how your eyes / brain cheats you because it is trying to solve this calculating on the easiest way. not differentiate between 1 or 2 shoe /horseshoe or even the calculation rules.
Yes, the last row is also sneaky because x and / take priority over - and +
I can do the maths I need to but all the algebra and trigonometry lost me.
