4020 period

bastien: sorry I made a mistake,I was fast typin,I wanted 2 ryt 4100,if read d quest,u will see take 1000 and add 40,u are not suppose to add the 1st 1000




Thanks

the dude said and I quote "take 1000 and add 40 then he said add ANOTHER 1000

The only problem of life z dt d stupid ones are cock sure but those who know are doubtful.... Imagine someone saying take sth and add another to it z take away... Well, m not pained with that but insistence? And very blind argument? ... U need to be checked.

tempest01:

ADD 30, then ANOTHER 1000

let's take you to the kitchen where you can relate....ADD pepper, then salt.

The riddle is not about the maths, it's about what's missing. There's a missing word... Remember the instructions was not to use pen and paper or calculator... Riddle is all about logic, something we normally call "number 6" or "common sense" ...Btw, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. My answer is my answer, not yours... Kabish?

Hey, beat it, when they say take 1 and add 1, what does it mean? It means take 1 + 1=2
We were right to add the first 1000. Thats maths language. You said: take 1000, add 40 to it. Remember that its the first 1000, so you must bring it. If you had written it at the middle or end, it would have meant minus. The answer is 5100

my answer is 3100. Final answer

5100
Am I correct?


A lot of people got it wrong when they added 4090 with 10 and got 5000 instead of 4100

unmask: you or your teachers need to be flogged..... Have you heard of negative integers? Or that integers are a subset of real numbers?......... It might be wrong to add real numbers and integers in your programming without parsing, but in maths it is perfectly legal......................

Then for the second group of olodos that assume take 1000 means take from 0, why don't you all assume you initially had 1,000000 instead of zero?..............

Anyways just give the damned question to your brothers or sisters in nursery or primary school

Lol.I tink d guy is writin too much program to deal with real maths [quote author=unmask] nd he's confusin integers with natural numbers.

5100.....

Ossai famous:
the dude said and I quote "take 1000 and add 40 then he said add ANOTHER 1000

This guy just exposed a trick, the word ANOTHER plays a very big role in this maths puzzle.

Another means to perform a similar action as previously or to follow a previous format.

So those saying take 1000 means minus 1000 are very wrong because you would notice, the OP later said Add ANOTHER 1000 which means you were expected to add the first 1000.

Whenever you see another in a question, just perform the similar action as previously, for example if you are told to add 1000 first and then told, another 1000, it means you should also add that 1000.

I think this is not much of a maths puzzle but english.

The correct answer is 5100

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

the riddle is TAKE represents minus(-) and ADD represents plus(+) shikena. pls let me know if am wrong?

= -1000+40+1000+30+1000+20+1000+10+1000 = 3100

i don't understand the Equation

lol bastien is not the OP oo cos I can see you refered to him like he is the Op

360degree: 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

the riddle is TAKE represents minus(-) and ADD represents plus(+) shikena. pls let me know if am wrong?

= -1000+40+1000+30+1000+20+1000+10+1000 = 3100

Next time read into.context, take.never means subtract, its bringing a figure into the calculation,

Olodo

Is this @bastien guy rily serious with his argument or he just wants the thread to run into pages? Either way, he needs to see a doctor.

Olododo

This Bastien guy na the kind person wey go fail question and go talk say na the text book dey wrong.

5100

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!

are you kidding me?

You also must understand that the question is to solve a riddle. That mean think outside the box. While using maths principle also do some logical reasoning which makes you thinking outside the box..... the question is not the conventional arithmetic problem.

3100 is the answer.

The only trick I see in this is that it forces people to make up tricks where they don't exist, just like I have seen in the posts so far.

Seriously?? You guys seem to amaze me. Dont you know your maths language again?? As simple as this. This is common addition. Wetin dey confuse you na the language you go use to try to confuse us. But let me tell you, maths is one language that is spoken all over the world. Maths here is same elsewhere around the world. The first take is to bring the 1000. If it had been not at the starting of the sentence, then it would have meant minus. Maths is maths anywhere. Learn to use maths language well pls so not to cause confusion. Capiçhè?

bankyj: the correct answer is 4100 . u don't av to add the first 1000. every other fin will be added.

Dude, what part of 'ADD 40 TO IT' dont you understand?

Carsonv:

Integers are supersets of real numbers. Integers span from -infinity to +infinity while real numbers are from 0 to +infinity.
I concur to every other thing you said.

Emmm,integers are subset of real numbers nt superset nd real numbers are also frm -infinity to +infinity.Don't confuse ursef.How cum,dis got to advance level wen d riddle is basic math

thats not maths language

Simple!

Izzyizzie: #6000 pere.

i cant find anything Tricky in that question honestly! And am suprised most of you are getting it wrong....
Just add the 1000s separately and add the hundreds separately, then add both together....so whats the problem?
