I just took a guess at my number. Actually it wasn't really a guess, more like hittin some numbers on the keyboard at random.
I'd like to know the answer just out of curiosity.

those quiz shows are a rip off,they never explain the answer,they just state a number with no reasoning what so ever.
i saw one once that asked you to name the person in the picture (blurred)
it was so obvious it was tom cruise,it was unbelievable,but they said it wasnt
they just want people to ring in at a £1 a go
anyways i will have a wild guess at
167
hehe

Here is the puzzle/question that was asked:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Cardiff 7 Miles
Swansea 33 Miles
Pembroke 76 Miles
Add all the miles up?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Cardiff; The capital and largest city of Wales, in the southeast part of the country on Bristol Channel. It was a prosperous coal-shipping port in the 19th and early 20th centuries and is now an educational and industrial center. Population: 302,000.
Swansea; A borough of southern Wales west-northwest of Cardiff. It is an industrial port on Swansea Bay, an inlet of the Bristol Channel. Population: 170,000.
Pembrokeshire, SW Wales, on an inlet of the Milford Haven estuary. The town is an agricultural market with tourism and ship repairing. Population estimate of over 7,000.
Why would there be a question for such as statement? Why not just be, ?Add all the miles up!? instead of ?Add all the miles up??
Now for most of us, any logical answer should be to do just that and add the miles up, not add the number of times miles is shown such as 4 including the question, etc.
So I would like to make my own quiz on this subject with my own answer that I will share for all to see?
Please add all the miles together for all the cities listed below.
The answer is 0 since that aren?t any cities listed below, just above. Now for all those that live in the US, have a safe and happy forth of July. And for all those that live in the UK... now you know why we wanted to be independent in the first place, for quiz questions like the one that started this thread!!!! Just kidding, everyone have a safe and fun weekend where ever you live. :)

OK, i'll end the suspense. The answer to the question was 142. I'm still trying to work out how the caller came up with that answer. The people who design these questions must have the same I.Q. as Einstein or the question is fixed with a made up answer.
Closest Answers
1st Place goes to "Hursty" with his answer of 167 which was 25 out.
Joint 2nd place goes to "Alien13" and "romero" with their answers of 116 which was 26 out.
The rest of you were either way out, not close enough or posted several different answers (ahem Doggy_Bot and others. You know who you are)
@ ScubaBud
I aggree with your post. The question is dumb and doesn't make sense.
NEW CHALLENGE IF YOU WANT
Come up with a theory on how to get the answer 142.
For UK Afterdawn Members
If you have SKY +/SKY DIGITAL go to Channel 166 as this is the channel i'm talking about which gives away money for answering questions. They are on air from 10am - 2am every day. Or go to http://www.thegreatbigbritishquiz.co.uk/ which is their official website.
P.S. I hope i'm not breaking the advertising rule.

Here we go...
142-76=66-33=33-7=26 which would equal 76+33+7+26=142
Which means that none of this makes any sense at all and the only way it could would be if by chance there was something left out of the original question like "If you traveled, etc.
I still think this is a prime example of why the US wanted to pullout from Britain... Hugh communication gap!!! <G>
Have a good weekend all!!! :)

Come up with a theory on how to get the answer 142.
i told you already,these shows ar a rip off,big style,
they never give any reason for the answers
by law,these quiz shows have to answer a so called "call" every few minutes,sometimes the phone will ring and you get some right dumbass on the line,and you just know its someone "acting" for the show,and sometimes they answer the phone "within the time limit",and the phone goes dead,(what a coincedence)
these quiz shows must make ££££££
i like to watch them for amusement value,see all the suckers getting ripped off by phoning in.thats if you get through,normally its a recorded message saying "better luck next time",and that cost you a £1!!!,or whatever they charge
i onced proved my thoery,i took a video still of a picture they were asking questions on,(i.e count the triangles),my answer was definetly correct,but was no where near the answer thay gave..
these guys should be reported and castrated
this thread was fun though
:)))
and i won...yeeeeeeeehaa
