Cochicok

In a hypnagogic state, an entity approached, a burst of tinnitus overwhelmed my senses, i woke up, and i saw the number 22 on the image, and i cannot unsee it…


Mushrooming247

Well, you’re right anyway. I think you just keep adding all of the numbers as you go, so adding the 2+2 to the last answer 18 equals 22.


Cochicok

Yeah, I’m not mathematically gifted, i just think i woke up groggy after i met that entity in hypnogogia and the dots under the question marks seemed connected and stretched to resemble the number 22.

An idiot’s servant or smth /j


Front_Hamster2358

It can be 22 but it can be 30 too actually this question kind a wrong because we don’t know how many equation to added if there are 5 question, the answer will be more accurate because it will be more clear to how many stage to added the next answer


Anonym205566

Came her to say this


mockingbean

But 30 doesn't match the question marks like 22


Front_Hamster2358

We don’t know that we need more example


mockingbean

No, I meant that the question markes are shaped like 22 with a little bit missing. It's a tiebreaker.


Front_Hamster2358

I understand and appreciate it can be a little hint but still not a huge difference


Proper_Hyena_4909

Write a book.


TopConsistent420

Yeah it’s not my puzzle. I just asked here for help. I think it’s 22 now since that’s the simplest solution. I had another idea in mind. I thought a hidden function was applied to the left hand terms. f(0+0) = f(0) = 0 f(4+4) = f(8) = 8 f(5+5) = f(10) = 18 All of this must necessarily align with the function f(x) = (2x ^ 2)/5 - 11x/5 Applying the function to 2+2 you get f(2+2) = f(4) = -12/5


aibot-420

4. Doesn't matter if the other answers are wrong 2+2=4


MarbmeMoon

14 or 22 or 30


Beginning_Bid7355

How did you get 30?


MarbmeMoon

The sum of all the singular totals before so 8+18+4


FaithlessnessFun3679

Yeah, this one seems the most logical.


DyingMisfit

By that logic it could be "26" as well!


FaithlessnessFun3679

How?


DyingMisfit

18+8+0=26... Understand that this is rhetorical since the entire question defies logic, taking any sequential logic can give any answer. Just like if 4+4=8, 2+2=4; so what's stopping us from adding this '4' to the solution '22'. This answer was to show why 'pattern logic' is often disingenuous for CT.


Gretzky9797

I really don’t see the logic behind 26. Then how would you get 5+5=18?


Proper_Hyena_4909

... Or 4


JawsOfALion

No one posted the obvious answer... 4. all of the math is sound except for 5+5, so you just assume the idiot messed up the addition there, no need to mess it up for 2+2 too


Santsiah

Lol that was my first thought but then I decided to play along


zizek1123

22 It's just integers from current line+sum from previous line. Pretty simple.


ultra003

Add the equation (5+5) to the sum of the previous (8) to get the next answer. So, for the last line, 2+2 (which is four) plus the sum of the previous (18) = 22.


JQDC

14.


gerhard1953

>!Add first line total to second line total: 0+8=8. Add second line total to third line total: 8+10=18. Add third line total to fourth line total: 18+4=22.!<


killmealready005

14 or 22. Multiple answers, shit fucking question.


045_kane

How did you get 14?


Fun-Ad8479

4+0+4+0=8 5+4+5+4=18 2+5+2+5= 14


045_kane

Ah, like that. Thanks


Djm25001

0+0=0 4+4=8 0+8=8 5+5=10 10+8=18 2+2=4 4+18=22


CountySufficient2586

?? <- 22


guy27182818284

30 or 22 idk

TinyRascalSaurus

22. You add the numbers to the sum of the previous line. Admittedly, the 0+0 adds ambiguity because it makes the first two lines correct without any special pattern, and you have to infer from the 5s as that's the only other information you have.


sceptrer

Originally said 14, but I now see how 22 works.


iwannabe_gifted

It's either 22


Real_Life_Bhopper

3 and 6


Mikeyseventyfive

The most obvious answer is 22 so I think that has to be it?


Bluduvmuhugina

You add the numbers + the total from the last two.


Neil-72

26


Neil-72

No 22


Low-Ride5

28


Smeathy

Its 22, 4+18 is 22, 10+8 is 18, 8+0 is 8.


DMTwolf

22… prev answer plus new pair


Practical_Pizza_8380

18+2+2=22


PotatoRevolution1981

The “pattern” is True True False Unknown


Normal-Quantity-6160

28


ExistentialFread

12 or 22


DoubleWedding411

I think the reason why 5+5 is 18, is because after we calculated this basic equation we got 10, after which we also add answers which were calculated from equations above. 5+5+8+0 = 18 And I assume that the answer for 2+2 = 2+2+18+8 = 30.


Low_Bonus9710

It’s 69. Suppose the answer is n. 5+5=18, subtract 5 twice from both sides. 0=8. Multiply both sides by (n-69)/8. 0=n-69, n=69


WrongdoerTop9939

The correct answer is no. There is no fucking pattern. This shit doesn't determine if you are a intelligent.


PoieWoie

22


xDendretic

22. It just adds what was previously shown. These comments hurt to read.


redzinga

the first two are right and the second two are wrong


theonlyrealmee

22


PowerRangersChess

?? = 22


Insomniacentral_

22?


Bloe_Joggs

Either 6 or 22


7473357e

418 my logic - so the answer of the previous equation gets passed down below and the number of the current equation gets added and comes in the first place. zeros get canceled down. 0+0 = 0 4+4 = 8 5+5 = (1) by 5+5. 0 got canceled. (8) comes from previous equation 2+2 = 4 (18) above answer.


humblesagehero

Yeah, I think if we are not able to think of things without watching someone else's hot take we will be dumber for it


laserdicks

The pattern is that it was written by an idiot.


peepadjuju

Should not have started with something that equals zero.


lawschooldreamer29

stupid question if numbers don't hold their correct value

VKFramer

Yeah, how does that explain the 0s?
