To Dunce Or Not To Dunce, That Is The Question


Ok guys, if the puzzle below takes more than a nanosecond (or three, let's not be too mean or anal), please insinuate yourself into a context similar to the one above, attired in the very same manner.

If ...

2 + 3 = 10

7 + 2 = 63

6 + 5 = 66

8 + 4 = 96

Then ...

9 + 7 = ?

Okay, so precisely where are you now after doing that, and what exactly are you wearing?

Of course, feel free to share any more 'exotic' locations you may be heading for ... if not required in the classroom!

    yep, 144 is the thing

    in each case, it's adding the two numbers on the left of the = sign, and then multiplying the result by the first of these numbers
