If
111 + 168 = 2001
211 + 606 = 1201
521 + 926 = 1501
889 + 816 = 9091
169 + 898 = 6551
869 + 168 = 6851
251 + 696 = 1211
951 + 998 = 2201
651 + 268 = 1501
191 + 598 = 9201
291 + 998 = 8201
Then
105 + 509 + 588 = ?

The answer is:
105 + 509 + 588 = 1661
The equations all make sense if:
you look at them upside down! For instance, 111 + 168 punched into a calculator is actually 891 + 111 = 1002, which is 2001 upside down.

$\begingroup$ you are a bit mistype, 861 must be 891. So what is the answer ? $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 9:14

2$\begingroup$ So $885+605+501=1991$ and the answer is $1661$. Why 5 and 2 are not respectively swapped turning upside down? $\endgroup$– z100Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 9:22

$\begingroup$ @z100 If you punched 2 in calculator, it will still 2, not swapped wit 5. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 9:24
