I think you are playing a drinking game and you are on about round 10.

The first two questions are inverted. Their answers are swapped.
The third might make sense were there a fourth to pair with it, although "the value of 23" is pretty straightforward.

Are you sure that game is not from China and actually labeled “Head of Crass”?

Those answers are wrong.
Never assume that just because it's in a book it is gospel.
I find at least one of those a day. I remember once returning a "Disney encyclopedia for children," which had an average of one such error per page.

FREEPERS did it.
N^2 =100 so N = 10.
4.5 +9.7 =14.2.
All very simple mistakes on the part of the people who prepared this game. I was looking for something far more complicated.
To: Maine Mariner
OK, its Free Republic math class.
1) N = 4.5+9.7 means that N = 14.2
2) N2 = 100 means that N x N = 100. That is true for true for two numbers, N = 10, and N = -10.
3)What is the value of 23. Two cubed, as it is said, means 2 x 2 x 2, which is 2 x 4, which is 8.
On to the next round!
To: Maine Mariner
The operators are missing or wrong.
Whenever there’s a consective number, you need an exponent. Whenever there’s a decimal, you need a minus sign. Whenever there’s a plus, there’s a plus.
First one:
4.5+9.7 —> 4-5+9-7=-1+2=1 = 1^0
Second one:
N2=100 —> N^2=1^0^0 = 1 = 1^(4-2) = 1
Last one
2^3=8

Hope you didn’t pay too much for the game :-)

What is the value of 23? Answer 8 If anyone can explain these answers my family would be grateful.
Easy, Think of it as American dollars, $23 dollars today will be worth $8 when Obama leave office in a couple years.
