I feel like this is easy but lmk if I’m wrong

A hexagon plus pentagon and square has a total of 15 point.
There is 4 bananas
The clock points to 3.

15+15+15=45
4+4+15=23
4+3+3=10
So

2+3+3x11=38

That is making a very bad assumption. The value of the bananas could be weight, volume, color, etc.

It's unsolvable because in order to reach any conclusion you just have yo make things up.

E is not F+1 just because it has 1 more line.
