    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

    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

    She's got my vote for a seat at the nerd table, I'll lobby for you! Haha...

    Haha thanks! It's because I used the word "fun" in conjunction with mathematics, isn't it? *pushes glasses further up nose and grins*

    Now I wish I hadn't edited the mention of that from my post before hitting replying... You got me! Pushes glasses back up nose, subconsciously mirroring you haha!

    I'm nerdy in a classic literature sort of way. I also like math and science. My goal is to be a true Renaissance woman ;)

    What did Odysseus use to clean his palace after killing Penelope's suitors?

    (I only know this because it was a 9th grade quiz question that seemed to come out of the blue, I still remember it)

    Do you mean sulfur? Or the way he made his servants clean everything up and then hung them outside in the courtyard?

    That's literature, now do some math and science. Then it will be official, you will be a Renaissance woman.

    What would you like to know?

    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.

    Build me a time machine with style.

    Haha that ventures into the realm of sci-fi, which I do love.

    I would of also accepted:

    Or literally a "time machine" with style.

    Riddle:

    A man was afraid to go home because he knew there was a man with a mask waiting for him...

    Where is the man who is afraid?

    Am I the only one who laughed when Kylo Ren took his helmet off? Like this goofy looking kid is supposed to be the most evil badass in the galaxy?

    You ever seen any of the videos where these stunts fail? Some of them are hard to watch.

    I wonder why more sports nerds don't post here. I know for a fact that some people out there totally nerd out over football. Dressing up and painting faces, memorizing stats, fantasy football...

    "What is this "football" of which he speaks? Is it some sort of barbarian thing in D&D 6th ed. or something?"
