For breakfast, one by one,
the three bears ate their
porridge. First it was too
hot, then it was too cold,
then it was just right. When
the three bears had eaten
their porridge they went to
the shop for 24 more bags
of porridge. The three
bears really loved porridge.
Add all the
'1's, '2's, '3's and '4's
What is your answer?
10 mill isk to the first correct answer(was hoping to have the prize increase every hour by 1-2 mill but need some 1 to sponsor).
Good luck all

Maybe you can tell us the answer and we work it out backwards? Sometimes, some proofs can be done by moving forwards, sometimes, backwards, and some other times, have to do it at both sides so we can connect them together...

After exhaunting quite a number of calculations, I also see this as the only way to go... not counting the hot/cold porridges...

For breakfast, one by one, [2]
the three bears ate their [3]
porridge. First it was too [1 from "first"]
hot, then it was too cold,
then it was just right. When
the three bears had eaten [3]
their porridge they went to
the shop for 24 more bags [you can't add 24, but 2+4=6]
of porridge. The three [3]
bears really loved porridge.
Add all the
'1's, '2's, '3's and '4's
What is your answer?
10 mill + 10 mill bonus isk to the first correct answer bonus will be paid if question is solved within 24 hours of this post.
p.s prize will only be paid out if u give correct answer and can explain as to how u got the answer. So no randomly posting numbers
Good luck all

18 is my answer. The sum of each line is embedded. Add those numbers and you get 18 which is equal to 2+3+1+3+6+3

I would guess at either:
0 - since there are no 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s in the stanza.
or
11 - sum of the words all the words "one" "three" added together. There are no 2's or 4's.
Otherwise, I'd presume it's something to do with the way the poem is laid out due to their being 4 paragraphs or something :p

Add all the
'1's, '2's, '3's and '4's
What is your answer?
though counting the question gives you another 10 so then it's [42]
though it could be read as "add the 1's 2's 3's 4's" being the only part to actually count, which would give [10] though they include the "'s" which means it's not just them.
and as for the extra text after the story, it reads only as information - therefore not included in the calcs

There are at least four "correct" answers to that riddle, depending on exactly how the riddler intended his instructions to be meant. They are insufficiently clear cut.
So insisting that 17 is wrong, or that 0 is wrong, is .. err ... wrong. Those answers ARE correct, for the particular way they've interpreted the instructions. If that's not the way you want the instructions interpreting, you need to make them clearer.

I know how it's worded, I read the damn thing. I said it's not CLEAR.
If you insist on being taken absolutely literally, then the answer is 6. There's only one "2" and one "4" in the story; all the rest are written in words. But since you already said that 6 is incorrect, then you want the instructions interpreted in other than the absolute literal. So .. you need to make them more clear.

I am way beyond mental now...
The clock kept turning round and round, it wont tell me the time, the riddler gave me a gun and I died last night ;]
Poor head, I still cant see it. Hmmm, I try to think of a mathematical expression later coz I am way too tired.
Anyone wanna join me for Ice-Kerm(ite)? Prolly 4 hours of icing it while figuring the answer might be worthwhile. LOL.

It's the phonetics.
For breakfast, one by one,
4, 1, 1
the three bears ate their
3, 8
porridge. First it was too
2
hot, then it was too cold,
2
then it was just right. When
the three bears had eaten
3
their porridge they went to
2
the shop for 24 more bags
4, 2, 4
of porridge. The three
3
bears really loved porridge.
Add all the
'1's, '2's, '3's and '4's
What is your answer?
You want us to ignore anything higher than 4, and to only add. so going on the above:
4 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 3 = 31

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8
Add all the 3's
3 + 3 + 3 = 9
Add all the 4's

Last guess, 56.
Adding all the numbers from each line including
phonetics and first as 1, counting the 24 as 24
and not 6, adding in the 10 from the answer portion.
If not, best of luck all, I'm out.
Actually have to get work done.
Guess my Ferox will have to wait.
Though if Mankind wants to give me the 30mil
anyways I'd be happy to name the ship after him.
