Damn! I thought I would win this one.


Err, misleading? This definitely had something to do with commas (ignoring) and addition, didn't it?

It was only because I had used it myself that I recognised it! The comma's really throw you off the scent otherwise!

I know how to make 5+5+5+5=555 true but not 5+5+5+5=5555. If you add a line connecting the top and left edges of a plus sign it makes 545+5+5=555

You said 'we have' so I'll say 8, your eyes included!

Well, I'll give it to you since you got the logic right. The answer is actually 4 ("we" here represents two people, 1 person saying the above to the other)

At this rate, I'll be spending a hell lot of more time in finding some challenging puzzles.[DOUBLEPOST=1572428953][/DOUBLEPOST]One more before I sign off for today:
