cronxeh,
54 being the correct answer (by the method I discribed) does not make this a pathetic problem. Brain teasers (at least the good ones) require you to think outside of the box and generally have a solution that, when you discover or hear about it, you think "that was so simple, why didn't I think about that?" or "why didn't I think of that sooner?"
If the 'teaser' just requires you to derive some gigantic, boring formula, then it's really just another one of your everyday word problems.
