Some people think a backpack full of MRE's and camping gear is a bug out bag. I like a bag with 10K and cash and a Passport.

10K?  Sounds' like a 1970's bug out bag!

I've decided to keep it the way it is. Thank you all for your input, but damn... y'all are split 50/50.

 

My opinion, for what it is worth (nothin'), is you're making the right decision.   Yes there are a lot of these, but unmodified originals are getting less and less all the time.   If you have a decent one, you owe it to posterity to keep it original and in as best condition as you can.

Line 1:   OK, three pairs of pipes = 30, 1 pair = 10, 1 pipe = 5.

 

Line 2:   1 pair of pipes = 10.     20 – 10 = 2 people, so 1 person = 5.

 

Line 3:   13 – 1 person = 8, so 2 pair of phones = 8, and 1 pair = 4, and 1 phone = 2.

 

Line 4:   Therefore, if 1 pipe = 5, 1 person = 5, and 1 phone = 2, then, 5 + 5 + 2 = 12.

 

This was fun!

Thank you, sir, may I have another?  

Close, but way off.

 

the last line says 1 pipe (5) plus one person (5) TIMES 1 phone (2).   And since you perform multiplication first according to PEMDAS, its 5+5x2 = 5+10=15

It's less math, more observation.

 

earbuds = 10 per pair

person = 5 each

watch = 4  per pair

 

So -- last line:

1 earbud = 5 

1 watch = 2

1 person = 5

BUT WAIT! The person in the final line is wearing a pair of earbuds AND a watch!

Therefore, person with pair of earbuds and a watch = 17

 

Therefore, final equation is 5 + 17 X 2

Order of ops with no parentheses, brackets, or exponents is multiply and divide left to right, then add and subtract left to right

 

So

5  + 34

39

 

Edited, because I noticed the person is also wearing a watch. Such fun

Oh man you're right!   I was ALSO "close but way off"

Except, of course, it was not in two different centuries. The 20th century started January 1st 1901. Not January 1st 1900. 1900 was the last year of the 19th century. You don't start counting at zero. 20 is not the first number of the twenties, but is the last number of the teens. 50 is not the first number of the 50s but is the last number of the 40s.

 

And two plus two is four. I have to throw that in because there's so many people out there that don't know diddly about arithmetic.

 

Knowledge is knowing that the 20th century started on Jan 1st 1901

Wisdom is knowing that the 20th century started on Jan 1st, 1900
