Many many years ago, I applied for a programming job at UT. To get an interview I had to take a timed, multiple choice test, and get some minimum grade. 1/3 of the test consisted of questions just like this.

Somebody said 34. Correct.

(Got the interview, but didn't get the job.)

Original Longest Yard

 

Paul Crewe: Heard you played some football. 

The Indian: Yeah. 

Paul Crewe: Where? 

The Indian: Oklahoma State. 

Paul Crewe: Oklahoma State U? 

The Indian: Prison. 

Paul Crewe: Well, first thing we have to do is get you out of here. 

The Indian: How? 

Paul Crewe: Well, we'll work on it.

Goddammit, I meant 32.

 

I am a retard. For reading and responding to this thread.

Well, I can tell why you didn't get the job

So many are missing. Where’s Rudy, Any Given Sunday, The North Dallas Forty and The Replacements? 

The Longest Yard, The Longshots?  Cmon, this is in fact dswsof.  Like Long said Rudy, Any Given Sunday, Invicible, Marshall all deserve some love over most of these.  Hell, where's My All American?

Problem is, those are not the "equations" used in the problem.

You have

1 + 4 = 5 (this one is the same as the FB problem)

4 + 8 = 12 (not the same)

9 + 12 = 21 (not the same)

 

I think you messed up by trying to apply proper math to a stupid FB meme when reality has no place in this sort of discussion.

The correct answer as originally stated is '34'.

 

Take the result of the previous line, add the two numbers on the LHS of the equation on the next line to get the answer

i.e.

5 + 2 + 5 = 12

12 + 3 + 6 = 21

21 + 5 + 8 = 34

QED

agree it's stupid to apply proper math the fb, but hold my beer.  the equation works.  I do not have 4+8=12 or 9+12=21

line 1 from the stupid piece of paper

- 1+4=5; n=1 so plug 1 into the equation n^2+4n and you get 5

- 2+5=12; n=2 so plug 2 into equation n^2+4n and you get 12

- 3+6=21; n=3 so plug 3 into equation n^2+4n and you get 21

if you assume the answer to 5+8 is 34 by using the number from above, then yes, the equation breaks down because a number in the series was skipped.  If you assume that the question is asking to extrapolate based on the previous equations then the answer is 45 because there was not a 0+3=0 equation at the beginning.  Thus ends late night drunk belligerent maths

Jesus you people are dense.  The answer is 111.

The first equation answer is in base 6.  1+4=5. 5 in base 6 is 5

The second equation answer is in base 5. 2+5=7. 7 in base 5 is 12

The third equation answer is in base 4. 3+6=9.  9 in base 4 is 21.

Extrapolating from the first three equations, the answer to equation 4 is in base 3.  5+8=13. 13 in base 3 is 111
