It's a logic problem. You can't figure out the "then:" until you figure out the "if:".

Obviosuly I have to change the rules.

The answer isn't enough. You have to show why the answer is correct.

Of course I'm right

9 * (9+7) = 9 * 16 = 144

Yes.

More completely:

2 + 3 = 10 -> 2 * (2+3) = 10
7 + 2 = 63 -> 7 * (7+2) = 63
6 + 5 = 66 -> 6 * (6+5) = 66
8 + 4 = 96 -> 8 * (8+4) = 96

so:

9 + 7 = 144 -> 9 * (9+7) = 144

You're probably more familiar with the "×" sign. Perhaps we should start a poll of which multiplication sign is best
