Firstly, you must follow an order rule to do the operations ensures that everyone can read and solve a problem in the same way. Multiplication and division, and after, addition and subtraction. Now, review and try again.

This is the idea! It's very good to see that there are people who view the issue with good eyes. Now, in relation to your answer it is incorrect. Look with a little more attention and try again that you will be able to solve it.
OK 🙂 Lets try this Again!
4 + 4 + 4 = 12
6 + 6 + 4 = 16
6 + 2 + 2 = 10
2 - 6 + (6 x 5) = 26
The value of the ace of hearts is 0. The value of the ace of spades is 6 because there are 6 dots in the center of the spade. The last poker chip has a value of 5 because of the 5 spirals instead of 4 like the ones above it.

6 + 6 + 4 = 16
6 + 2 + 2 = 10

6 + 6 + 4 = 16
6 + 2 + 2 = 10
2 - 6 + (3x5) / -4 + 15 = 11
Each chip is a value of 4 because of the swirls - except for the one at the bottom with a value of 5 with 5 swirls.
Each Ace card has a value of 3 because there are 3 spade symbols. We can see one heart and part of the large heart so we assume there are 3 hearts too.
Dealer chips value of 2 each.

You must analyze the whole set of patterns, sequences and shapes in that question. This because logical reasoning is a way of measuring analytical ability, analyze problems and propose solution strategies. Now, look the test and check if you have good logical thinking.
My thoughts:
Chips - 4 each
Cards - 3 each
Dealer Button - 2
First Line - Chip(4) + Chip(4) + Chip(4) = 12
Second Line - Two Rockets(6) + Two Rockets(6) + Chip(4) = 16
Third Line - Two Rockets(6) + Dealer Button(2) + Dealer Button(2) = 10
Fourth Line - Dealer Button(2) - Two Rockets(6) + One Rocket(3) x Chip(4) = 8
Lines 1-3 are simple add and subtract in order - left to right
Line 4 requires multiplication of 3x4 first, then subtract and add in order.
A couple of caveats:
- If the number of swirls on the chips has any significance, there is nothing in the first three lines to provide a clue to the five swirl chip in line 4, making the fifth swirl arbitrary. One more than a 4 swirl chip? Why not one less?
- If there is a difference between the Ace of Spades and Ace of Hearts, there is again, no hint in the first three lines to provide sufficient clues to assign different values to the two Rockets.
All that said - I am going with 8.
My under graduate degree included studies in logic and statistics, along with various mathematics courses. If I am wrong, it just shows that what I learned in my youth has gone missing in old age.

Do you say arbitrary for referring to a choice made without any criteria? To answer this question, we first need to verify that some tests challenge you to discover a logical sequence, others you already observe that it requires more analysis to resolve the issue.
Such as, deduction (analytical thinking, seeks to analyze various information in order to converge towards a single result), induction (intuitive thinking that tries to predict the future based on your experiences) and abduction (seeks new ideas and knowledge that can validate something).
And you can keep calm about your learning in youth, because hardly see anyone solving all the questions in tests of logic. 😉
Yes. If there are criteria for assigning a different value to the five swirl chip vs the 4 swirl chips, they are not evident in the puzzle - at least not to me. This old guy could use a 3 swirl or 6 swirl chip in one of the other equations to help me determine whether or not the number of swirls is a critical factor or simply a bogus chip.acidburnfx said:
Agreed - this test does challenge us to discover a logical sequence.acidburnfx said:
Can we add 'seduction', just for fun?acidburnfx said:
While I find these challenges interesting, they no longer stress me out. If I get stuck, so be it. Life is too short, and getting shorter, to stress out over these things.acidburnfx said:
Send me a private message when you are ready and willing to share the right answer.
In the meantime, I will be doing other things to fill my retirement lifestyle.
Thanks for the challenge.
