Sneaky Bastards, I missed the multiplication in the last line. PEMDAS makes it 38 instead of 88.

Yeah, cept I donƒ??t know what to believe anymore. Just like what being a surveyor has done to my grasp of punctuation, Iƒ??m not sure pemdas is gospel truth these days. Also the reason I usually donƒ??t answer these.

It didn't occur to me the 6-agon plus the pentagon is 11, duh.

38 seems to be correct.

38

Each 'Corner' is 1 (15 Corners in first row, 11 in question)
Bananas are 1 each (4 in second row, 3 in question row)
Time is 3 O'clock (Only 2 o'clock in question row)

Thus;
2+3+3*11= X
2+3+33=X
X=38

The title is 'Nother problem, with the apostrophe substituting for the "A".

Please explain "Amalie 'Emmy' Noether".

Well, as many here say "it depends". I only got it because I assumed bananas were not valued by the pound and that every bunch, regardless of weight, was valued the same.:)
