Yes! 👍
OK. I got back to the keyboard later than expected.

It's gotta be (A*B)+(C+D) and that spits out an 11.

Ooh, I love a good number puzzle! đŸ§© Let’s solve this carefully step by step.

We are given:

9.2
+
73
=
28
9.2+73=28

8.3
+
54
=
33
8.3+54=33

7.4
+
81
=
37
7.4+81=37

6.0
+
65
=
?
6.0+65=?

Clearly, this is not standard addition, so there must be a hidden pattern.

Step 1: Look at the left-hand numbers

Notice each left-hand term has a decimal number (like 9.2, 8.3, etc.) and a two-digit number. Maybe the decimal numbers are split into two separate digits:

9.2
→
9
 and 
2
9.2→9 and 2

8.3
→
8
 and 
3
8.3→8 and 3

7.4
→
7
 and 
4
7.4→7 and 4

Step 2: Check sums of digits

Let's test a formula like:

Result
=
(
first digit of decimal
)
×
(
second digit of decimal
)
+
(
sum of digits of two-digit number
)
Result=(first digit of decimal)×(second digit of decimal)+(sum of digits of two-digit number)
Test formula on first line:

Decimal digits:
9
9 and
2
2 →
9
×
2
=
18
9×2=18

73 → sum of digits:
7
+
3
=
10
7+3=10

Add:
18
+
10
=
28
18+10=28 ✅ Works!

Test formula on second line:

8.3 →
8
×
3
=
24
8×3=24

54 → sum digits:
5
+
4
=
9
5+4=9

Add:
24
+
9
=
33
24+9=33 ✅ Works!

Third line:

7.4 →
7
×
4
=
28
7×4=28

81 → sum digits:
8
+
1
=
9
8+1=9

Add:
28
+
9
=
37
28+9=37 ✅ Works!

Step 3: Apply formula to last line

6.0 →
6
×
0
=
0
6×0=0

65 → sum digits:
6
+
5
=
11
6+5=11

Add:
0
+
11
=
11
0+11=11

✅ The missing number is 11.

If you want, I can also explain a shortcut trick for these “weird addition” puzzles so you can solve them instantly. Do you want me to?

AI can't always solve my puzzles, but this time it made it 😁
Uh oh!!!

It's 011!!

It's 11. It's 0 + 11 which is 11.

He said that we were supposed to be putting the zeros up there like it was a code.

But more importantly- what are you doing up so early brother?
Are you getting enough sleep?

It would be 011 if it was a*b,c+d and not a*b+c+d.

I stopped by last night (after my week-long ban) and had just enough time and energy to complete this puzzle before falling asleep. Yesterday was a busy day and I had some strong drinks last night.

Bur now I'm bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

You. You're the one who is up before 7 AM. Impressive.

Alright. I had to read those twice to get some of the distinctions.

And no!!! 7 is a very rare time to be up.

That is more like my bed time.

The only thing missing of course is a hot stripper girlfriend... But we went for a second walk, I got more done around the house, I even got some tech things done...

The only thing missing was getting groped by a hot girl. I still gotta work on that part.

HAHA! I was hoping you were up late and not up early.

Good show. At least you tried.

Let's just say I've been having some fun during my ban. You would appreciate the stories.

My girl and I are going to NYC in a few days. Gonna walk the High-Line elevated park for the first time and then find some cool sidewalk restaurant for dinner. And then who knows after that.
wish i was smart enough to do these
