Since bat = (ball +1), instead of saying ball + bat= 1.10, you replace bat with (ball + 1). So, ball + ball + 1 = 1.10 or 2 balls + 1 = 1.10 or 2 balls = .10

I think his question is some stupid play on words or something. The premise is too vague to give an answer.

Take a look at this photograph. Most people might say that it is two pictures of Mona Lisa upside down and they are the same. Then turn and look at them right side up.

This is an example of how the human mind will 'fill in' information based on experience, since we don't normally look at images upside down. Therefore, there is missing information that is filled in from past experience.

you are right. The problem is, IT modifies 'the house on hills drive' therefore the relation between hills drive and townsville street is not known.

koods, yes, but...damn there has got to be more than one way to make this equation's model evident.
but yes, i see how you put it. a bat is a dollar more than the ball...just take ball, and double ball, then add dollar, as mentioned in the question.
it's just the phrasing is dumb in that question, it's like...backwards or something, i dunno. but i see what you are saying...and it's a simple way to look at the question; like i said pretty much right off-the-bat (punning it up!), it's a doubling that's important in this logic, to figure out the logic of the question easier.
and i think i was right...awesome. my brain not so dumb at math, good.

do like mathematicians and engineers like solving questions that are phrased like an idiot constructed them? is that a thing?
but yeah...where is the house along the road?
that's the crux of the faultiness of this questions determinability.

I know it appears to be that simple,,but it is not, the answer itself is simple, the hard part is getting to that answer, the more u think about it the further u get from the answer..
Hint #2: the question itself is irrelevant.. It only there to let the reader know there is an question to be answered.. And the answer may or may not be hidden within the sentences..
Remember, the more u think about it, the less likely u are to get it..

you can clearly see how the left picture is all rotten and not at all similar. i noticed this, yet, i still blew up the pic and tried to turn my head to see it upright.

If you're on a road, and someone says it's about a mile to road.B, then the road you're on intersects with the road B.

IT makes the questiion ambiguous, unless you correctly understand the relationships of modifiers.
The question is phrased correctly. Understanding how modifiers work tells you that there isn't enough information. So there are an infinite number of solutions: 1 mile is a solution if the streets are parallel and of the same length, and an infinite number of solutions come in the limit in any other case. This can be proven mathematically.

yes but is there an answer that can be provided?
i mean, look...i've seen people before take paths at an angle, taking many paths at an angle, presuming that they are taking a short cut, when, simply put, you can just walk straight, and get to wherever in less time, with less distance travelled. so it seems obvious, somehow (though i don't gather how), that the spaces are not divvied up equally, in terms of distance, between point A and point B.

If you took a really advanced math course in Topology or Analysis, the solution would be
[1 if Length x = length y and x parallel y] [infinity in any other case]
where x = hill drive and y = townsville street.
But then the real buttfucker comes when they say show the proof. 
They give problems like this all the time at graduate level.

As a secondary note, 'There is not enough information' would be the answer in lower level math classes.

road x and road y provide space z, on a graph...where is the house on the said graph?
that gives the answer to where we are...then we can determine where the "mile" spoken of intersects with both streets, and acquire the distance (or space z) between the two streets, (ie, the answer)

It's not a math problem. Math problems don't include phrases like "about a mile"

it's a philosophical problem, more like it.
PS: more brain teasers plz. somehow this is Turing me on.
and the ghost of my brain goes to yours and something comes quite clear, oddly enough. wtf...is there something in the stars, in the lights in my brain? math? me? oh my.
