Question

John decided to join in a math contest. He needs to figure out the answer to the following:

22 + 28 + 29 + 3 + 7 = -2407
2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = -52
99 + 9 + 99 + 9 + 99 = -7821
111 + 11 + 1 + 11 + 111 = 101
69 + 420 + 3 + 17 + 1337 = ?

The + can be anything from these 4: +, -, * and /. (Addition, Substraction, Multiplication and Division).
Your task is to figure out what the ??? is. Because there could be multiple possible answers, please also include what each + should be. That way I can check it easily :)

So a possible answer could be (This is just an example... This is not gonna get you the answer)

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = ?
Answer: ?, because 3 x 3 + 3 + 3 - 3 = 12 and so 4 x 4 + 4 + 4 - 4 = 20

PS: Add your logic! Maybe there are multiple solutions, so if you add your logic, it may be correct!

Sort:  

? = -20,014.

69 - 420 x 3 x 17 + 1337 = -20,014

Correct, mr. chops!

Glad I redeemed myself after screwing up the fractions last time I tried a contest.
