I noticed the multiply sign but then (duh) missed the single drinking glass.

And sixty would really boggle the mind if substituted for the age of consent in Aruba.
EDIT: Seems safe enough now to fill in the previous blank spots of the sentence above. (Cat was actually out of the bag way back when order of operations was mentioned by Syne.)
When I first looked at this, I thought '16' too. Missed the 'x'.
You are meant to miss the operator (thats the tripup your meant to miss.)
However it's quasimath, considering you are given various symbols specifying values and then given a sum to solve that uses a symbol that hasn't actually been defined. Sure people assume that if a picture of two wineglasses equals 2, then one wineglass must equal 1, however the reality is you have a new undefined value. It could literally be any number.
Further still if we take to how the question is written in that form, could the answer to not merge the difference between the numeric and spacial understanding. Rather than the answer being a number perhaps it should be a mergence of images (five snowflakes in an array etc, maybe a snowball, maybe a snowman minus a glass of wine.)
Apparently - eating a whole packet of biscuits without meaning to is a snaccident.

This “case” being the above holiday riddle?
Sooo, who believes that we will go through another lock down again, once Biden takes office? New year...new fear mongering? lol
I've been reading that he may consider a national mandate relating to wearing masks, which wouldn't be a bad idea. But, does the POTUS have the authority to do that, really?

He doesn't have the authority, much less the ability to enforce, any nationwide lockdown or mask mandate...and he's already admitted as much.
A curfew has been issued for 6 pm in DC? But Antifa took over cities, burning down buildings and using violence for weeks, without a curfew. Got it. What’s happening to the US?
Canadian Network calling it a coup, is it that bad in DC?
Will interlopers be charged with treason?

Leftist hypocrisy and complete disregard for anyone but their fellow loyalists.

Since it's on federal property, Trump can pardon them. And coups are done with guns, not flags. As the left has said for over a year, this is just a "mostly peaceful protest".
