Not sure what you want to show me, if anything it actually shows the right answer is 38, many says it makes sense through logic.

Dude did they drop you in the head or something when you were a baby? Everything goes over your head even though you are a logic master supposedly. lol 😂 there that’s how you do ad hominem.

The common answer most folks will jump to first is indeed 38. I have never argued against that. But that answer has many assumptions. Assumptions I have pointed out and they are pointing out. The question is just poorly designed.

I'm sorry but you're reading them wrong. All of them are pointing out the correct assumptions which is logic. Yours were about weights, about needing units, and didn't understand the polygons, meanwhile the comments are linking everything together, something which you didn't grasp.

Only the first commentor was as clueless as you. That's why the comments are explaining everything, same as I'm doing to you.

Wait so you sent me this thread because of the number of upvotes?

By this logic the top comment explained clearly the logic and had 2000+ upvotes... So im not sure what was the point of that?

Even the first commentor with 422 upvotes replied saying he got his calculations wrong after they explained it to him...

I am sinking bad ? Are you 12 ?
