Balyz: Those of us conversant with math think the correct answer is 6000 know one that has a little knowledge of basic mathematics will arrive at 6000. 1 Like |

All these answers came up because we were told it was a riddle. What a way to disrupt human reasoning. the word riddle created all this problem, not the figures nor the grammar. 1 Like |

bastien: guy u b BIG OLODO,which sch u dey attend self,tricky maths will never give u the real answer! 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. 5 Likes |

Re: Maths Riddle by Nobody: 12:18am On Dec 19, 2013 |
The answer is 5100 not 4100 or 6000.Whr exactly are u "taking away" the 1000 from nd why are u adding the alrdy "taken" 1000 to 40.lol.Sum peeps are funi sha.Mayb d OP shld hav jux used givn 1000,add to 40.D real trick der is,afta u got 4090 nd u add 10,so instead of 4100,ur gettin 5000,dats y ur gettin 6000 instead of 5100 2 Likes |

Re: Maths Riddle by purpinkx(m): 12:33am On Dec 19, 2013 |
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 |

I think there's no trick in the Maths Question... with just a simple addition, you get the answer(5100). Purpinkx got the true tricky answer in your scenario A. purpinkx: What le fquk are they arguing ? |

Na wa o,I'm surprised!!...when the word 'take' is used in both maths and/or english whatever proceeds it, is ur starting point: therefore 'take 1000' means 1000,then you continue by adding 40 etc....you'll get 5100 #thatsall 1 Like |
