haibe: Note: This riddle must be 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 1 Like |
Re: Maths Riddle by Nobody: 9:37am On Dec 19, 2013 |
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. 2 Likes |

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 (+) |

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..... |
