mathematics - Can you solve this? Answer isn't 19 or 26




I've found this viral image online, can you solve it? It is tricky, but simpler than you think.


People are losing their shit over this viral riddle! 45, 23, 10, ??; Can you solve that? Answer isn't 19 or 26

Answer



My best guess is



38



but it requires a lot of assumptions.


The first line is




15+15+15=45



The second is



4+4+15=23



The third is



4+3+3=10




The trick is



None of the symbols in the 4th are present in the previous three lines, there are 3 bananas in the bunch instead of 4, the clock points to 2 rather than 3, and the geometric shape is missing the square.
The square has 4 points, leaving 11 points of the 15, the rest of the numbers can be assumed to be adjusted as they are pointed to as well, making the final equation 2+3+3*11=38
