Where's Ross Erstling at? Solve this

[leadhead]

Here ya go


            Try to solve this puzzle.

            Apparently only people with an IQ over 120 are able to figure it out ...

            Keep your brain active and think about it:

            if

            2 + 3 = 10
            7 + 2 = 63
            6 + 5 = 66
            8 + 4 = 96
            Then:
            9 + 7 = ?


Don't tell me you can't solve it either as I did it and I'm fairly sure I don't have a 135-160 IQ

damn I figured that out in about 10 seconds, thats enough accomplished for today and its only 7 am. Im going back to bed til 2:30

edit: Im layin odds Swede googled the answer somehow

[Mr. Magoo]

is it 144?

16 x 9? 

[spinnis]

is it 144?

16 x 9? 

exactly

2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96
Then:
9 + 7 = ?

The pattern is too easy to figure out.

You add (2 + 3) = 5, in order to get to 10, you must multiply that 5 you would have attained by "2".

You add (7 + 2) = 9, in order to get to 63, you must multiply that 9 you would have attained by "7".

Following this logical course of action, logic dictates that after every addition, you must multiply the arrived sum with the initial value in the additive equation.

So in the next line, you add (6 + 5) = 11, you then multiply that arrived sum of 11 with the initial number in the addition problem which is the number "6" (6 x 11) = 66.

So, 9 + 7 = 16, then you multiply 16 x 9 = 144...

Gayer than adding a "1" after every post...

I get them nearly everyday as emails from most of my engineering school buddies. This was a chain email from a friend that "claimed"  if you solved it that your IQ was 130 or over but was obviously mistaken. This is some 5th grade shit IMO

To answer your question "Where's Ross Erstling at?"  I would say most likely, detailing his 1985 IROC and checking himself out in the reflection from the side mirrors.
