How does 1 plus 5 plus 6 equal 151?

Answer 1

This is the answer to "How does 1 plus 5 plus 6 equal 151?".

Using mathematics, 1 plus 5 plus 6 equals 12. Everyone knows that.

But your question does not stipulate that we MUST use mathematics to find the solution. So, I suggest using the following methods to find the solution:

A.) First you must state that this is a Game. Then you must declare the rules to the game as follows:

Rule-1) Any time a number is over 5 we subtract five from that number. For example, a 9 would automatically be a 4.

Rule-2) The word "plus" does not imply the mathematical property of addition, it instead implies the combination of two items in succession. For example. 3 plus 4 equals 34.

With only these two simple rules, you have your solution.

1 plus 5 plus 6 (after following Rule-1) becomes 1 plus 5 plus 1.

1 plus 5 plus 1 (after following Rule-2) becomes 151.

Success !
