A Challenge

The correct answer is 43. Let's leave this going for a day or two before posting the answer key.

 

2 shoes = 10
1 left shoe = 1
1 right shoe = 0
1 kid = 5
4 ice cream cones = 8
1 ice cream cone = 2
(1+5) X2 = 12

What, me worry?

 

After five cones who cared what the answer was....or why two cranky arses and one pair of smelly shoes was only equal to 2/3rds of three pairs of smelly shoes?

 

implying nothing i made a error with the single ice cream cone vice a pair. Also i missed something with the boy until i enlarged it. it is 26
.

 

damn it. 28
.
1 shoe = 5
1 boy = 5
2 cones = 4
1 cone = 2
--------------------------------------------
5 + 5 + 4 x 2 = 28.
--------------------------------------------
shoe + boy and 2 cones x cone = answer

 

I got 60. I did not read the other answers.

Now reading, they did remove one cone and one shoe... dang!
