No change.
They are still rooted.

Try this sneaky one from another photo forum then: Note It requires some assumptions to get an answer. I suggest that till Christmas no-one share their reasoning as this will give a wider range of answers   From a first look, I reckon 35 ... or even 19 Got to be either 3.717 or 1.414 |

35 makes sense - assuming the tabletop has a value of zero...

You're still a genius - even after the age of 12, Kate.  |

The square root of 3 is important in three phase electrical systems, unfortunately it is something I haven’t used for over 40 years. Thus, my memory isn’t quite right as I intend to use root 3 which is of course 1.732. So now I’m wondering what is significant about 3.717 that I should remember it? |

I'd been wondering that as well. |

3.14 recurring, because I thought it was easy as pie... (I haven't looked properly as the current Mrs S is on my case, and will probably pack it if I spend too long hereabouts) Pi is not quite that easy (being irrational) it's not actually 3.14 recurring but that's a slightly closer estimate than the 3.142 I usually think off. Excel seems to have it as 3.14159265358979 with no extra digits available, but others have calculated it to a million decimal places! |

35, but there's probably some BODMAS bollocks going on and it's actually 19. The Americans don't use the BODMAS mnemonic, instead using PEDMAS, but otherwise many of them would agree with you. |

Not possible to work out - the three objects in the question are not the same as any of the objects shown above them. Four rolls versus six, three legs versus four, 02:00 versus 05:00 S Technically 100% correct, all three objects only have implied values, which could prove quite wrong given more data. It could be a three legged table has a value below 0.01 as it's usefulness is less than 1% of that of a four legged table, or the table top could rate as 3 then each leg as 0.25 (for a total of 3.75) or indeed any other value not derivable by logic could be correct... This is why I stated 'It requires some assumptions to get an answer.' One benefit of this is that any answer could be correct - no-one is definitely wrong |
