This is not “Deja vu”, I did post a very similar puzzle last week, but this one is different and the answers are different. Good Luck
This one is another flower themed algebra problem that should be fairly easy to solve as long as you read it extremely carefully.
The puzzle image provides the answers to the first three questions, which should provide the information you need solve the fourth question.
Below is a poll for you to record your answer:
Please comment on how you went, but don’t give away the answer.

When you need to count the petals on a flower and watch for BEDMAS order, it’s time to call it a day! I’m either the only one correct or one of many who are incorrect! 🙂
Ok Jen you have me nervous here – I figured David has finally got me doing BEDMAS – but I did not count the flower petals as meaning anything thing – hoping you are just teasing.
Bill, ha! My answer is still in the minority according to the poll results but I still think the # of petals is different for a reason! 🙂
Yes, Jen. The number of petals does make a difference and most people have missed that. I did say to read the question extremely carefully.
so what is the correct answer.
Did you work it out and respond on the poll?
