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.

Guy, d answer is absolutely nt 4100... Even if i want to go by d way of sayin take d first 1000 away, pls frm which figure Since we are not given the firgure, then we assume dat d figure is ZERO. If 1000 is takin away frm ZERO, we get negative 1000...after this, now begin to add startin frm 40...at d end of d day, we will end up gettin 3100....experimentaly-----
0-1000= -1000
-1000+40= -960
-960+1000= 40
40+30= 70
70+1000= 1070
1070+20= 1090
1090+1000= 2090
2090+10= 2100
3100+100= 3100

the trick is a mental one that occurs sub- consciously. when you add the figures normally without using a calculator, pen and paper or any other materials other than your brain, nine out of ten times the answer you will arrive at is 6000 instead of the correct 5100. i can't really explain how this works but its a trick of the mind.

Re: Maths Riddle by 360degree(m): 9:39am On Dec 19, 2013
Someone uses two languages and says that you should solve a riddle. Pls do a proper reasoning in the context of the word RIDDLE. Many people are too "mechanical" in providing solution. You need to be a little pragmatic. TAKE in this context will mean minus (-) while ADD means Plus (+)

5100.

( 1000 × 5 ) + ( 40 + 30 + 20 + 10 ) = 5000 + 100 = 5100.

haibe:



Take 1000 and add 40 to it.= 1040

Now add another 1000.=2040

Now add 30.=2070

then Another 1000.=3070

Now add 20.=3090

Now add another 1000.=4090

Now add 10.=4100

And then add 1000=5100

bro, the answer is 5100

"take" is different from "take away" in english language
besides, i ve never heard that "take" means "take away" in maths. Please another person should confirm this with a prove.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. could also be translated to "take 1000 oranges and add another 40 oranges to it."

I stand to be corrected.

thanks

Re: Maths Riddle by Cahmegga: 10:52am On Dec 19, 2013
Let's look at it this way, lool


The question never said "add 1000 to the sum of 1000 and 40"...it says "take 1000 and add 40", clearly, this is 1040...and then, "add 1000"...

Who told y'all to add 1000 to 1040?! What is spose to be done is adding that 1000 to the original 1000, so we have 2000....

So, the answer is something like
--- 1000+40
---1000+1000
---1000+30
---1000+1000 etc...adding this individual sums should give the correct answer.....
Re: Maths Riddle by olalijnr(m): 10:56am On Dec 19, 2013
most definitely 6000
