As JW but isn't the result of last line 23
A skinhead with a scar, scowl, and clenched fists is undoubtedly a drain on the system. How many times has he been in jail and will re-offend?
It's not 23, nor 28
and 23 doesn't equal 28 either 😉
nor is it 15
although 23 does feature in my suggestion of 51, but I can't commit to that because the image has been re-JPGed too many times.

Are you saying he's worth nothing?
Actually the scar is from an Olympic fencing accident. He shaved his head for charity and his fists are clenched because he's about to sprint into action delivering bags of chips to a homeless people.
You know these things are only created to create comments don't you? More comments = more money for the page that produced it. So you come up with something that has multiple answers so people can argue about it for days.
Why do you think I posted it here Alex?
There are not multiple answers to this though. There is one correct answer and an infinite number of wrong answers. 🙂
10 + 10 + 10 = 30 ....> 1 shoe = 5
5 + 5 + 10 = 20........> 1 boy = 5
4 + 4 + 5 = 13........> 1 chips = 2
5 + (5 x 2) = 15
Logic failure, the boy with the chips and pink boots is neither the boy, or the chips but a totally new constant - surely we don't know what this new constant is unless we know what it is equal to? Is it equal to a 1 Boy + 2 Chips + 2 boots or 1 Boy x 2 chips x boots etc?

A five pound note and a fifty pence are two different 'constants' but you still know that value they have when you place them together.

Ah - you're generating income for the forum - excellent - well done!
If you are thinking in terms of money, yes - it would be a simple addition.
But that is not given, all the symbols are - are a replacement for algebraic terms.
I call shenanigans!

Aren't we all?
I said it during beagle madness and I’ll say it again here, the answer is 50/50 or 1 in 3.
I get 172, but I am shite at mathematics
Bollocks I get 78.
Shit - 48. That picture is miles away when you’re on page 2 😂
10 + 10 + 10 = 30 ….> 1 shoe = 5
5 + 5 + 10 = 20……..> 1 boy = 5
4 + 4 + 5 = 13……..> 1 chips = 2
5 + (5 + 10 + 4)x2 = 43
20
The thing is all about boot left and boot right.
BL ≠ BR. We were told so on a recent thread.
Didn’t notice half the detail on the bottom line for my first attempt.
Indeed, skinhead is wearing boots as well as holding chips.
43 if 5+(19*2)
or
48 if (5+19)*2
Boot = 5
Skinhead = 5
Two Boots = 10
Two Chips = 4
multiply by a single portion of chips = 48
Where the **** would this be useful in real life?
Edit - Just zoomed in and the skinhead in the final picture has eighteen more dots of stubble. It’s a different skinhead of unknown value. £500 plus VAT is the answer!
what a ****y gif!

In a Beagle shop.

It's 43.

I had to learn Reverse Polish Notation at college. We called it Egdelp.

Google BODMAS and come back to us.

Was going to say the say the same.
However I'm far from convinced little dick wearing pink hi tops and carrying a couple of cones of chips should automatically equal 19. Could just as easily be 200 (4*5*10)
A five pound note and a fifty pence are two different ‘constants’ but you still know that value they have when you place them together.
So if I place a number five and a number 0 together is that a five or a fifty I have just generated?
However I’m far from convinced little dick wearing pink hi tops and carrying a couple f cones of chips should automatically equal 19.
These things are usually designed to be ambiguous, so loads of people argue and it essentially becomes clickbait. This one is flawed, but far less stupidly vague than many.

It it would seem Butlins has changed somewhat over the years
@convert: it’s not digits though, it’s abstract representations of values.
Not sure why you would multiply them?
If I said a red casino chip was worth 50 and a blue chip was worth 25 then asked you what a 2 reds and 1 blue was worth then you wouldn’t multiply them together to get an answer.
So if I took one of your red chips and pt two little blue dots on it would it now be worth 100?
So if I place a number five and a number 0 together is that a five or a fifty I have just generated?
Not sure why you would multiply them?
What if it said XX+XX+XX= 30?
XX = 10 but that doesn't mean X = 5. X=√10 would be a better answer imo. Not sure how that relates to wearing the (much smaller) shoes though.
So if I took one of your red chips and pt two little blue dots on it would it now be worth 100?
Yeah sure. You’ll just need to speak to management in one of the VIP rooms...
XX = 10 but that doesn’t mean X = 5
Well no. But if you correctly said 2x = 10 ...

Ta, never heard of that before and always used brackets...everyday a school day.
To be fair, when in doubt, use brackets.

This reminds me of the joke "An astronomer, a physicist and a mathematician are on a train in Scotland. The astronomer looks out of the window, sees a black sheep standing in a field, and remarks, "How odd. All the sheep in Scotland are black!" "No, no, no!" says the physicist. "Only some Scottish sheep are black." The mathematician rolls his eyes at his companions' muddled thinking and says, "In Scotland, there is at least one sheep, at least one side of which appears to be black from here some of the time."

Whenever I see one of these puzzles on social media that involves BODMAS (or PEMDAS, BOMDAS, BIDMAS etc) there is inevitably someone in the comments complaining about stupid "modern mathematics" and when they were in school it was always just left-to-right.
Personally I'm 43 and remember BODMAS from school.
I got 112.
Can you take it that the lad with the chips and trainers can be counted as a single unit i.e. bracketed?
Trainers=5
Lad= 5
Chips=4
5 + Lad wearing trainers and eating chips (23) all multiplied by 4
5 + Lad wearing trainers and eating chips (23) all multiplied by 4

It doesn't help that by default calculators flick V's at BODMAS and do left to right. And then ever so slightly fancier ones include parentheses options to override LtR to get back to BODMAS.
Except MS Calculator, which I think varies by mode?
Clearly the maths bit can only come up with 2 answers... the cheap calculator one or the standard convention one. Most of the variations are due to lack of observational skills, even down to totally missing the fact that one mathematical operator symbols differs.

They don’t it’s the user entering the info that ignores it. That said I’ve a calculator on my iPad that you write the formula down and it works out the BODMAS.

I'm 46, I don't recall ever hearing BODMAS or its regional variants from school. But I do remember that it was never just left-to-right, ever.

Cheap calculators do. Scientific calculators don't.
5 + Lad wearing trainers and eating chips (23) all multiplied by 4
Also, count the chips again.
Cheap calculators do. Scientific calculators don’t.
and some do both, and most people probably don't even know which, and that's even if they realised there were 2 (or more) methods possible on any calculator.
Indeed the MS windows calculator swings both ways. BODMAS only in scientific, not in standard or programmer. I just tried it.
No idea about my Casio fx451. Is that cheap? or scientific? The fact that it has brackets would suggest to me that it either expects the user to do the BODMAS bit, or make use of the B part and treat the ODMAS part LtR.
Anyway, I vote that the shoes are 5 in the first 2 lines cos that's the number of pairs of holes that are laced, but when the chap is wearing them he's got all 7 pairs of holes laced with noddy bows, so they count as 7 in the final line.
With no symbols to help, I'd default to multiplying items together, rather than adding them, to get your result.
