Honestly, I was not thinking of sex when I read that.

Umm, I didn't think sex.

I thought: why are there quote marks around the numbers?

Actually my first thought was that the numbers, being in quotes, would be considered strings. If so the answer was wrong.

Maybe because the numbers are within inverted commas they are ascii values, therefore the answer would be 99 not "3"! However 99 is "c", the third letter in the alphabet!!

Mathematics, "addition" to be more precise.
