I see this as something near $10 + $7.99, my misspent youth playing too many card games helped here since 3*17 is rather related to a deck of cards Smile A few seconds' further contemplation gives me the $17.88 answer but it isn't close to instantaneous. On a calculator I would have used the ENTER key for this one.

If you went to three or four digit numbers, I'd reach for a calculator sooner of course. An arithmetic savant I'm not and the many amazing records of mental arithmetic are in no danger of being beaten by myself.


You could calculate this as: 529 SQRT 43 * 289 SQRT 47 * + which is a bit convoluted but only because I didn't bother with square numbers much beyond thirty.


And finally, the big question: what are you using 23 apples and 47 eggs for????? Smile
