    D is Dragon

    M is Man

    F is Flower



    Line 1:

    D x D x D = 27

    so D = 3 because 3 x 3 x 3 = 27



    Line 2:

    M + F + D + M + F = 31

    2M + 2F + 3 = 31
    2M + 2F = 28
    M + F = 14


    Line 3:

    4F + 4F - (M+F) = 18
    8F -14 = 18
    8F = 18+14
    8F = 32
    F= 32/8
    F = 4


    So then you can work out that if M + F = 14 and F = 4 then M = 10


    Line 4:

    M + 2F + D x 5F = you use bodmas for this one so it becomes

    M +2F + (D x (5 x F))
    10 + 8 + (3 x 20)
    10 + 8+ 60
    = 78
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    If you look at their Facebook posts they reply to some posts with the wrong answer, they have replied to a couple with 62 advising it is not the correct answer.

    Have you missed the extra flowers in the picture? There are 5 on the right not 4 (like on the row above) and the man has 2 flowers in his hand not 1 (like on the row above). The flowers in the man's hand are tiny, so really easy to miss :)

    so if you accidentally do M + F + D x 4F

    you get 10 + 4 + (3 x 16) = 62

    but (as per ikkle87's post) it's actually M + 2F + D x 5F

    which gives 10 + 8 + (3 x 20) = 78

    since each flower = 4
