Ok. the actual question asked was:
"15 foxes each invite 4 foxes to a party.
Those foxes invite 30 more.
They all love a party"
Q: How many foxes?
And theres two answers:
(1) You start with 15 foxes, who each invite 4 more to the party. This makes 75 in total. Then, they invite 30 more foxes, for a total of 105.
(2) This is the trick answer. The word 'foxes' is repeated 3 times in the question, so, in a way, there are three foxes. This is the answer the phone in game show wanted.

105. If 15 foxes each invited 4, that's 15 x 4= 60, plus the original 15 = 75, plus 30 more which makes the grand total of partying foxes a whopping 105!!!!! What a foxy party!!!

A deliberately ambiguous question! If it's the one from Channel 5 I saw coming in from night shift boxing day then no-one tried the obvious combinations of: -
19 foxes inviting 30 more each = 570
15 foxes inviting 34 more each = 510
Being as every other combination was tried I think one of these two was probably the answer.

Mathematically the correct answer is 105, I however saw this question on that ridiculous show, and I think the solution is in fact something really stupid.
From an angle to the tv it wasn't visible, but there were in fact two very very faint foxes in the background of the question, so chances are they were looking for the answer 2, or 107.
As usual with this kind of trivia there are far too many possible interpretations of the question to guarantee success.
Hope that one helps! Especially as it seems those of you who have been trying to answer this are missing possibly vital clue!

Freebird is on the money. People seem to be forgetting the original 15 foxes. unless they in vited 30 foxes each and not just an extra 30.
Also What does this question have to do with Board games?

3, the word foxes is repeated 3 times in the question.

first of all don't do your homework online but the answer is 1800 (or it could be 90 if the 60 foxes invite30 all together but it is 1800 if they each invite 30 more each)

Yeah i saw this but didn't see the answer i think the formula is...
15 x 4 = 60 +30= 90

u didnt quite state the question right. it could be 90 foxes or it could be 5,400 foxes depending if each fox invites 30 foxes or if they all invite 30 altogether
