dejibimbo: my answer is stil 2100...the question is dosed with ambiguity....so u cant tell me exactly what is right or wrong...its all dependent on the interpretation u give it...we all know 2+3+2+5=12, thats clear nd nt ambigous...but the OP is based on perception nd interpretation...#myWORDS

lol there is nothing ambiguous in the OP, all you need to do is brush up your comprehension skills, if its the word "another" that is giving you proble, then just check what it means in the dictionary and you will find out you are expected to perform same action as previously.

The problem is that people like to complicate things themselves, how on earth will someone equate "take" with "take away", smh!!, the word another followed by 1000 is enough to tell you the first 1000 should be added

This is elementary maths(although tricky) and if you are still arguing that the answer is 2100, you may need to check if you really worth the level you are. *so offence intented*

The only different answer a person is expected to get here is 6000 which is of course caused by the trick in the question, anyone getting anything else is either misinterpreting the question or confusing himself but my contextual and logical analysis, you will find out there is no way take means take away.

adediranta: saw this question on an IQ test website last year...the answer is 4100..."take 1000" is the keyword there

check the question you saw and you would notice there are just 4 1000's but the op reframed his question by including another 1000 to make it 5 1000s, so read the op thoroughly before concluding on your answer, its different from those flowing online.


Lol it amuses me how people fail to read questions thoroughly but just jump to answers

maballack: After much much...and in a bid to make my point clear
heres a link to it internationally answered 4100

Here is the question that has 4100 as the answer:

This riddle must be done IN YOUR HEAD and NOT using paper and pen or a calculator. Try it!

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 to it.
Now add 30. And another 1000.
Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10.

What is the total? SOURCE

Compare it with the OPs question and learn.

jude33084:




[size=20pt] OLODO![/size]

All the elderly in your lineage be OLODO.

nnady chuks: 6000

Correct!

jude33084: .....take 1000 and add 40? the answer is 40 if you ask me mehnnn

I stick with the 4100

So na 4100 be your answer for that simple question? No wonder you dey spit rant OLODO AGBA, 4100 kor 41 ni, Ode.

bastien: thank,when I say 4100 many peeps dey insult,dem 4get say na learn we all dey learn 4 here

still wrong bro, check the question in the op and compare with urs

Why does this anti spambot keep banning me when I never breaked any rule... omg

nothing ambiguous in the op, all you need is to brush up your comprehension skill and think logically.

So if you met this question in an interview, you would say the interviewer can't tell you what is righy or wrong smh!

haibe: Note: This riddle must be
done IN
YOUR HEAD ONLY and NOT
using
paper and a pen.
Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 30.
then another 1000.
Now add 20.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 10.
And then add 1000

What is the total?

Pls don't modify your post, its just for fun, lol.

6000

bastien: I hear,ma ansa na still 4100

op is confused, the answer is 3100. Take 1000 means minus 1000
That will be -1000+40+1000+30+1000+20+1000+10+1000

bastien: guy u b BIG OLODO,which sch u dey attend self,tricky maths will never give u the real answer!

The first sentence said it all.......TAKE "1000" it mean take it way,and if its taken it will be 0,the plus 0 to the 40,and others


I hope u understand now!

take doesn't mean take away. Take (or as u say say take away from what?). State staring position, and state take away when you want it subtracted).

if this silly question got y'all arguin' all day . . . . . .
let's try this one
How can you add eight 8's to get the number 1,000

Asswear Olodos full nairaland.

Na 5100 dey give all of una problem like this?

cayesworld: if this silly question got y'all arguin' all day . . . . . .
let's try this one
How can you add eight 8's to get the number 1,000

Pretty easy

888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000

Lord_Reed:

Pretty easy

888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000

feelin' smart abi . . . . .probably have come across it b4

Two fathers and two sons sat down to eat eggs for breakfast. They ate exactly three eggs, each person had an egg. Explain how it's possible

MrCyril: op is confused, the answer is 3100. Take 1000 means minus 1000
That will be -1000+40+1000+30+1000+20+1000+10+1000

or maybe you are the one confused, how can you say take means take away??

Ok let's assume take means take away, it means anyone can assume his/her initial figure and so we would all get different answers.

So I might assume an initial figure of 5000 and so take away would mean 5000-1000; poooooo.

Read and understand the question, you will see the reason why you are expected to add the 1st 1000.

lol, I can't believe people are finding this too hard.

cayesworld:

one of the sons is a father

MrCyril: op is confused, the answer is 3100. Take 1000 means minus 1000
That will be -1000+40+1000+30+1000+20+1000+10+1000

Gbam!

Nope. Never came across it before.

This riddle is over flogged. There was the grandfather, the father and the boy.

cayesworld:

Two fathers and two sons sat down to eat eggs for breakfast. They ate exactly three eggs, each person had an egg. Explain how it's possible

Grandfather, father and son = 2fathers and 2 sons.

If each of them (grandfather, father and son) takes one egg, that's three eggs in all for 2 fathers and 2 sons

All of you are feeling fly abi?

Let's see who can answer the riddle in the pic below quickest.

Question is :who owns the fish.
I already know the correct answer, so don't think you can say nonsense

(Ps: it took me 6mins)

More comments....

the answer is 4100 because you were not asked to add the third 1000
the question only said "then another 1000" not "add another 1000"
that's the trick

xager: the answer is 4100 because you were not asked to add the third 1000
the question only said "then another 1000" not "add another 1000"
that's the trick

wrong

4100....tell me say i fail am na

haibe:

wrong

read through again
"then another 1000" doesn't make sense on its own..you are to either add or subtract but none was stated there..open your eyes bro

xager: read through again
"then another 1000" doesn't make sense on its own..you are to either add or subtract but none was stated there..open your eyes bro

lol, I didn't even form the question, if you read through this thread from the beginning you will find out its an international question which I only edited slightly, what you think is the trick is not the trick, its only your misinterpretation. Ask those who choose 6000 as their answer what the trick is.


"Then another 1000": No intelligent student will doubt that this means add another 1000 after reading into context, infact this shouldn't be the question arising at all except you don't know what the word "another" means.
