这道简单的数学题你会做吗？

因此，1个椰子+1个苹果+1串香蕉= 2 + 10 + 4 = 16。

However, if you look a little closer at the problem you will see that 16 is not the right answer.

不过，如果你再认真看一下原题就会发现，16并不是正确答案。

“Although this is the answer everyone seems to be giving, it's actually not correct. Notice that each bunch of bananas has four bananas (look closely!) except the one in the final line, which has 3 bananas. Also notice that the third line has one coconut, while the last line has only 1/2 of a coconut,” The Problem Site adds. “This changes things!”

“解题网”称：“虽然大家给出的似乎都是这个答案，但其实它并不对。你应该注意到，前面的每串香蕉上都有四只香蕉

3 apples = 30, so 1 apple = 10.

3个苹果= 30，所以1个苹果= 10。

10 + 8 bananas = 18, so 8 bananas = 8 and 1 banana = 1

10 + 8只香蕉= 18，所以8只香蕉= 8，1只香蕉= 1。

4 - 1 coconut = 2, so 1 coconut = 2

4 - 1只椰子为2，所以1只椰子= 2。

Therefore, 1/2 coconut + 1 apple + 3 bananas = 1 + 10 + 3 = 14

所以，半个椰子+1个苹果+ 3只香蕉= 1 + 10 + 3 = 14。

So there you have it, 14 is the right answer.

最终答案也出来了，应该为14。

Or is it? Dr Kevin Bowman, course leader for Mathematics at the University of Central Lancashire, told Mail Online that due to the ambiguity of the riddle, “there are an infinite amount of possible answers”.
