43 because BODMAS.

Really needs brackets

edited because I missed the double cones.

double edited because I also missed the double shoes.

triple edit : i give up because  i just noticed that that little dick is wearing shoes and carrying two cones and I don’t even know if he self identifies as a beagle.

9 pages.

Nearly missed the sneaky multiplication. I really hope there's no way this one can generate as much argument as the beagles did.

Does. Not because maths.

Because argumentative wallopers.

This is less a maths puzzle and more a deliberately obtuse obversation puzzle.

<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">564. You can't see that most of the chips have trainers on.</span>

Any relevance in the russian chip cone being slanted in the last line?

crazy how so many identical puzzles (but with different pictures) come up with so many different answers.

What does scally carrying 2 chip cones wearing boots equate to? Scally*chip cones*boots? Scally/chip cones*boots? Scally*chip cones/boots?

I'm not playing.

Stealth edits and showing your working are definitely cheating 🙂

What you can’t see is that one of the chip cones also contains a concealed shoe and that one of the shoes conceals a chip cone but it’s not clear which one it is.

So, none of the beagles are male.

Use the graph paper to work out the relative area of the objects.

Doh, also missed the double cones.  Saw the X and thought I'd sussed the FB clickbait puzzle but should have looked harder or better yet ignored the whole thing 🙁

When little dick's wearing pink hightops, has he got his other shoes and socks underneath? Or not and if not how much were they worth?

Is one shoe worth half a pair or absolutely nothing?

As others have said (& PP eventually), 43, but this HP calculator claims 133 - głupi odwrotny zapis polski!

Pink hightops , a skinhead and a facial tattoo

It’s a bold look.

For the sake of the question we're assuming a burgeoning market in single shoes for amputees.

I'm sure at least one stealth edit actually changed to make the answer more incorrect.

Before calling these clickbait things a maths puzzle, I think they really ought to be called a simple test of observation.

This is worse than getting on with my job.  Whoever said 43 I'm agreeing with you.....for now

Now that there a few different answers kicking about we now have to form tribes based  on our choice and get entrenched for 9 pages of warfare.

Shouldn't we just perform some team building exercises and finish with a presentation to the others?

Of course we don't know the relative values of left boot and right boot. They could both be 5 or one could be 7 and the other 3. But which is which?

Therefore totally unsolvable.

But yeah, 48.

10 + 10 + 10 = 30

5 + 5 + 10 = 20

4 + 4 + 5 = 13

5 + (5 + 4) x 2 = 28

Didn't notice half the detail on the bottom line for my first attempt.

surely we need clarity on if the left shoe and right shoe are of equal value?

we know that a left AND a right shoe =10, but it's not clear what the individual values are of left and right.

EDIT - beaten to it while typing...

One could argue that the answer could potentially be 51, but would need a non-blurry image for that.

This is crazy talk. There are not left and right shoes, just shoes. So its 50%. And they smell like hell as the little dick stood in beagle shit.
