Hints and solutions to
Problem of the day for Thursday, May 17
A multiple-choice question: What is the value of
66 + 66 + 66 +
66 + 66 + 66 ?
- (A) 66
- (B) 67
- (C) 366
- (D) 636
- (E) 3636
- Don't rush to judgment on this one!
- Remember, 66
means 6x6x6x6x6x6, and there are six of them
in the sum.
-
So the sum is 6x(6x6x6x6x6x6), which of course is
67.
