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.

The answer is most definitely 9*6. There is simply no other less complex solution. 54 is correct.
