Both B and D are correct. Neither A or C are correct because seven is singular in the question.
B is correct. B has (three seven)[37] and (one two)[12]. The seven isn’t plural for 777 in A and C. There aren’t any commas between the either set of numbers so we should treat them the same eliminating the difference in use of (three seven)[37] and (one two)[2] for answer D
I thought this comment was so ridiculous and nonsensical, until I realized that I confused B and C. Gonna be a long day…
But why would you put an “and” before the second to last instead of the very last?
Because it provides a question with a single correct answer, without punctuation, so the question can be read aloud.
But @ashenone@lemmy.ml is wrong, D is correct. 3 7 and one 2.
But then again, why put “one” before 2 but no other number? That breaks the pattern. It would make sense to but the amount before a number that’s more than once or before each and every number.
The answer is none makes much sense.
why put “one” before 2 but no other number?
To make it confusing, because it’s a game show.
777 also has a seven though. It also has more sevens but it sure has a seven.
But the ones with three 7s don’t have a 3 and one 2.
Just pointing out that if several answers are correct then the question doesn’t work.
also, quotation marks: e.g. three “seven[s]” one “two.”

A: Three sevens and one two
B: Three sevens, one, and two
C: Three, seven, one, and two
D: Three, seven, and one two
I think, you’ve mixed up B and C.
D: one three, one seven, and one two.
D: three, seven, two
B: three, seven, and one too.
B: [the sequences] three-seven and one-two
B: Three seven, one, two
Even more technically:
3
7
1
2
Because the prompt didn’t say three kilo, seven hundred twelve.
Ok, so we can easily boil it down to B and D since they said “three seven” and not three sevens. So the first part is easily [37]
The tricky part is the “and one two” you’d think they mean twelve, but the key part is the and. In proper mathematics that means a decimal point, however in many dialects the “and” is commonly used as a final number to be said like a list, so if you wanted to include both a one and a two you’d have to put and between one and two, however since the and was before the one that means the one isn’t a number but rather it means there’s a singular [2].
So the answer is D. 372
Oh its d.
It has 3, 7, and one (singular) 2.
There’s no comma after 3, so 7772 would make more sense except “seven” isn’t plural
Nah pretty sure his tie is blue and black not white and gold
B also has 3, 7, and one 2.
This is why commas are important
[Trumpet noises] Come on Eileen.
This is why you should be careful when you help your uncle jack off a horse
I don’t get why people use this example, there shouldn’t be a comma in either version.
