Let's start with this one:

Replace the letters with numbers (0-9), to give a meaning to the equations:

RE + MI = FA

DO + SI = MI

LA + SI = SOL

RE = 27

Hm... Nobody yet? It's not difficult! No Algebra needed. Not comparable with that problem from Singapore!

Still working on it, yet I'm sure someone will beat me to the punch. Tic-toc, Tic-toc,...

You failed to mention the prize.  :wink:

R=2, E=7, M=5, I=6, F=8, A=3, D=4, O=0, L=9, S=1

RE=27, MI=56, FA=83, DO=40, SI=16, LA=93, SOL=109

Thus:

27 + 56 = 83
40 + 16 = 56
93 + 16 = 109

Geometry always kicked my behind.  :wink: Haven't a clue.

Here's an age-related math puzzle:

Corrine asked her Granny how old she was. Rather than giving her a straight answer, she replied:

"I have 6 children, and there are 4 years between each one and the next. I had my first child (your Uncle Peter) when I was 19. Now the youngest one (Your Auntie Jane) is 19 herself. That's all I'm telling you!"

How old is Corrine's Granny?

How old is Corrine's Granny?

Ok, this is easy.
Corrine's granny had her last baby (Jane) at the age of 39 (19+4+4+4+4+4). Now Jane is 19, so Corrine's granny is 58 years old (39+19).  :dance:

6 x 5 X (6 -5) = 30
(6 - 5) =1 so the above becomes 6 x 5 x 1 or 30
Chugging coffee and computing!

Draw two lines as shown
A + D is obviously equal to C
D and B are corresponding angles in right triangles with a base double the height, therfore D = B
therefore A + B = C
