this puzzle was on facebook...about 1300 people gave the answer and i think they were all wrong. They do not tell you the correct answer so I decided to see what you guys say. Nobody gave the same answer that i did.

What would your answer be in this case? Show your work. I don't understand what you don't understand.

Oh - I think I see the problem - where do you come up with this equation:
a+b+c+d+b+c+d+c+d+d
?
to simplify, lets do
its not 2+4+4...its 24 + 4
yes, and 2+4 = 6
It's adding the digit of each column together. What number do you think it ought to be?
I think the reason that we disagree is because when I see a number like 24, i think of it as 20+4 and you think of it as a 2 and a 4...when i saw the number 6666, I saw 6 thousand, 6 hundred and sixty six. and you saw 4 sixes

A
+ BA
----
28
What is A+B?

I see it as 24...if B is 2x10 and a is 4x1, then is B=2 or B=20?

B = 2. Just 2. It's not 20, it's not 2x10, it's just a digit between 0 and 9, and in this case, it's 2

so 6666 is not 6 thousand, six hundred and sixty six? its just 4 sixes in a row?

A is a single digit between 0 and 9
B is a single digit between 0 and 9
same with C and D
6666 is 6 thousands, size under and sixty six. But if you were to write "6666 = WXYZ", W=6, X=6, Y=6, Z=6.

It is either 1 or 25, most likely 1. I see that each section multiplied by the 5 in the middle equal the number on the opposite side.
What's the answer:
