It seems to be one sentence with three falsehoods. Reminds of the brainwash of "2+2=5" from the book Nineteen Eighty-four.

55. I see it now after someone gave away the answer and *key". LV is 55. It is a work puzzle or riddle and not a math puzzle at all. on the joke and me.

I read a mathematician's post on another forum, many years ago, that said
