As I sat awake tonight unable to sleep, I stuck quiz night live on. Now this costs 75p to ring up each time and there is no guarantee you will even get through.

The puzzle they had today was this

fourteen plus six times three minus 2

the clue was "add all the numbers"

They did reveal the answer at the end and I will do the same later this week if no one can figure it out. Even knowing the answer I have no idea how they got it. People ring up these shows and pay 75p each time without knowing they are being totally scammed. Shocking.

PDJ is the answer 58.

I've never watched this kind of programme for more than a minute or two (though it may be more interesting than counting sheep) and therefore don't know how they work out the answers.

However, were the answer to be as simple as, in this case, '58', I fear they wouldn't be in business for too long.
 
The proper answer is 30, but I know it isn't the actual answer. I saw one of these programs before and couldn't believe the amount of idiots paying to ring in and not getting an obvious answer right. I thought it was a sort of three-card-trick wind up, that they had thousands of people ringing in with the right answer but were only putting the dopes on air, until eventually someone came up with the correct answer and was told they were wrong. I never found out what the right answer was.
 
How Itv are allowed to show that shit I don't know?
Aren't they supposed to show programmes of a certain quality?

Another possible answer is 20.

Oh, I see DG has already mentioned that.

Don't tell us it was 2. :D
 
Here's a question for you all. Should the BBC be allowed to show a similar thing on one of their channels overnight ? In return the license fee is scrapped/reduced.
 
Pee, have you set out to mislead us? You say the clue is 'add all the NUMBERS', but you've expressed both 6 and 3 in letters, not numbers! Therefore, the answer should be - using your own criterion - 14 minus 2, which is 12! :blink:

I've worked out Ted's and Gareth's ways, which seem logical. On the other hand, the answer could be 14632...
 
Hmmmmm.... :brows: So then the answer should be 3, since you'd finally add the 1 and 2. How there's a 4-digit total, I've no idea. Back to the lab, to see what's on the slab...
 
Nope. I will put the answer up at 1pm then I would love someone to tell me how they got it.
 
So the answer is not 14632, 1492, 1461, 58, 30, 25, 21, 20, 3 or 2, but it IS a four-digit number. That narrows it down considerably...


... you're sure it said ADD ALL the numbers, and not 'addle' the numbers, Pee? :lol:
 
That would be the answer I came up, BTB with but the actual answer is ...

4642.

Any clues?
