All Of The Crap They Send Me

Can you solve this?

Here is a neat math problem. The people who forwarded it to me claim that only people with an IQ 120 and
over are able to figure this out.

If:

2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96

Then:
9 + 7 = ???

See If you can figure out what these words have in common: 
 
 
Banana 
 
Dresser 
 
Grammar 
 
Potato 
 
Revive 
 
Uneven 
 
Assess 
 
 
 
Are you peeking or have you already given up? 
 
Give it another try. 
 
You’ll kick yourself when you discover the answer 
 
 
 
 
 
Go back and look at them again; think hard. 
 
 
 
 
 

OK.. Here you go. Hope you didn’t cheat. 
  
This is clever…
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Answer: In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word. 
  

Did you figure it out?-

This is a puzzle that was sent to me by a friend of mine. As a result I put a contract out on his life – for I haven’t been able to regain my piece of mind since. It was published by a dude called Boolos and attributed to another guy called Smullyan. I didn’t come up with this title – hardest logic puzzle ever – it is the title used by Boolos for his paper. He must have been reading digg that day. Anyway it really is hard. Don’t keep reading if you want to keep your sanity intact!

Count the number of people in the pic. Wait for it to shift and then count it again. Where does the extra person come from?
