      It's either 96 or 40, depending on your interpretation. However, if you decide on the running total interpretation of 40, you can also get 96 if you fill in the missing equations.

      That leaves science.

      I'm at least semi-nerd. I teach English and love graphic novels, Legend of Zelda (and a lot of older games), Star Wars, AND GAME OF THRONES!

      Shameless plug (because I'd really like some conversation / debate) for those who wouldn't mind reading my nerdy, strong opinions and weighing in. It's a review of the season finale of GoT. If you have a moment, tell me what a nerd I am. And sorry for the shameless plug / interruption.

      Nerd on.

      By the by, saw an episode of Harmon Quest at the Adult Swim on the Green Tour they just pulled off (had the pleasure of working it). That was one hilarious and absolutely bizarre show.

      Check out Harmon Quest if you haven't already. It's the creator of Rick and Morty playing D&D.

      Oh my god thank you

      Wouldn't it just be 32?

      I don't personally think so, but I'd love to see your calculations :)

      1+4=5
      (5)+2+5=12
      (12)+3+6=21
      (21)+8+11=40

      I guess

      Both answers are correct depending on your interpretation

      a + b means a + ab

      1 + 4 means 1 + 1(4) = 5
      2 + 5 means 2 + 2(5) = 12
      3 + 6 means 3 + 3(6) = 21
      8 + 11 means 8 + 8(11) = 96

      I guess it could be 40, all depends on whether or not there's missing equations...

      If you are skipping all the way to 8+11=96... If there are no other equations, I suppose 40...

      I figured
      1+4x1
      2+5x2
      3+6x3
      8+11x8=96

      (21) +4 +7=32
      (32) +5+8=45
      (45)+6+9=60
      (60)+7+10=77
      (77)+8+11=96

      I see it. You guys are smart.

      how does the 96 way work

      Too funny. I was like "How the holy hell do you get 40?"

      And then I was like "Ooooh, thanks for explaining that."

      1+4x1
      2+5x2
      3+6x3
      8+11x8=96

      You can get 40 by adding the sum of the previous equation to the next equation.

      1 + 4 = 5
      5 + 2 + 5 = 12
      12 + 3 + 6 = 21
      21 + 8 + 11 = 40

      The fun thing about the 40 answer interpretation is that if you fill in missing lines you can also get 96.

      1 + 4 = 5
      5 + 2 + 5 = 12
      12 + 3 + 6 = 21
      21 + 4 + 7 = 32
      32 + 5 + 8 = 45
      45 + 6 + 9 = 60
      60 + 7 + 10 = 77
      77 + 8 + 11 = 96
