Balyz: Those of us conversant with math think the correct answer is 6000

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!

speedyboi:

Going by your logic...you are still wrong. If 'take 1000' means subtraction, then the answer should be 3,100.

0 is the initial value so you can't take away 1000 and still have 0. Instead, you will have (-1000) and that is what will be added to 40 and so on.....

So you see you are still wrong both ways?

Anyway, Me thinks the tricky part is that most people tend to mistake the tens as hundreds thereby getting 6,000.

sholay2011:
My boy, you impressed me. You really showcased all those math lessons I gave you in this post. Keep it up.

Nosu: Love the trend, enjoyed myself.
And also I learnt a new word,'roforoism'.
It reminded me of those days when We made some funny statements while growing up. E.g
The road is roforofo.
Hope u understand that

speedyboi:

you are sick

lingy: so so intelligent I must commend you as a mathematician you nailed it. Lovely

MsTeez:

THANK YOU!!! I was reading through every single post waiting for someone to actually make a mention of this

vodkat: when did take become minus or subtract abi are u speaking lolapalozzo

purpinkx: What le fquk are they arguing ?

Scenario A ;

take 1000 = 0 - 1000 = -1000
add 40 to it = -1000+40 = -960
now add 1000 = -960+1000 = 40
add 30 to it = 40+30 = 70
now add 1000 = 70+1000=1070
add 20 to it = 1070+20=1090
now add 1000=1090+1000=2090
add 10 to it =2090+10= 2100
now add 1000=2100+1000=

3100
scenario B

take 1000 = 0 + 1000 = 1000
add 40 to it = 1000+40 = 1040
now add 1000 = 1040+1000 =2040
add 30 to it = 2040+30 = 2070
now add 1000 = 2070+1000=3070
add 20 to it = 3070+20=3090
now add 1000=3090+1000=4090
add 10 to it =4090+10= 4100
now add 1000=4100+1000=

5100.

Which is correct ?

Thank me later i'm purpinkx Btw

Mathematically,if you follow he's logic ur also knda wrng,cuz by taking 0 as the initial value,u alrdy "assumd" u dealing wit integers,u can't b dealing wit integers nd hav -1000 whic is a real number.And real nos are -infinity to +infinity.while integers are 0,1,2....infinity.I dnt knw if u get me.
