Given

Q Q . Q + Q Q . Q = R R R . T \large \overline{QQ.Q}+\overline{QQ.Q}=\overline{RRR.T}

Where Q , R , T Q,R,T are single digit non-negative integers, with

Q Q is an odd prime number,

R R is a number that slashes through everything (metaphor), and

T T is nothing (another metaphor).

What is the value of Q + R + T Q+R+T ?

Details and assumptions

  • You need to decipher what the metaphors mean in this context.


The answer is 6.

Well, the only prime to divide two kinds of numbers is 5( it divides those thay end with 5 and those that end with 0). As mentioned, T is nothing, which mathematically means 0. And then, R slashes through everything, meaning it divides all numbers (including primes), so it is obviously 1. Thats it! Adding up, you get 6. (Please reply if my jargon-play has upset you. ) Cheers, Vikram.
