    This ain't common core. Its a stupid social media garbage logic test. Not real math, but a 'follow the pattern' test. They post them to get views and comments. There is almost never a clear answer, but by my logic, the answer is 34. I'm sure others could argue something else and be correct as well.

    1 plus 4 is 5
    5 plus 2 plus 5 is 12
    12 plus 3 plus 6 is 21
    21 plus 5 plus 8 is 34

    I'm pretty sure the answer is 42 though, it's the meaning of life, 42

    Trey's example is what I thought as well, but like I said earlier, its hard to argue with maxward's explanation. Neither are wrong. Who knows what the author had in mind. Social medial garbage.

    We now have 3 possible solutions. None are wrong. 34, 37, 45 all fit a pattern. Exactly what I said earlier. It is not real math. It an ambiguous social media post designed for clicks/shares/comments to monetize an account.

    Well....wrong again, but I will award you half credit for Consistency

    There is 1 correct answer, and 1 correct answer only. 🤔👍

    That's easy to say when you are not offering anything to support your conclusion. Three patterns offered in this thread all fit without any dispute. No rules given for the garbage math problem, so pick your favorite.

    Rules ?
    For those of us with a level of familiarity with not only the scientificals but also with the advanced mathematicals are completely confident with the one, and only one, correct answer which is:
    45 ✅💯🧠

    FWIW:
    I thought
    1 + 4 = 5 in base 6
    2 + 5 = 12 in base 5
    3 + 6 = 21 in base 4
    so
    5 + 8 = 41 in base 3 (13 in base 10)
