maballack: Look back again to all the lines even when another was used again....there was ADD preceding it it doesn't matter bro, lol pple complicate things themselves, okay just imagine this question. add 10 to 20 add 10 another 10 another 10 another 10. So you mean you don't know that 'another 10' mean to follow the same action of adding as above? If you noticed, only the value 1000 carried another in that question |

Well, to ma understanding, d 'take' in d questn can be interpreted to be 'takeaway'......figures in d questn does nt carry any sign of money e.g #, $...... Logicaly, its imppossible to say 'take' dis figure(handlin it to someone) bt possible to say 'take' dis money. So, if d figures in d questn carries a sign of money, we can then say, d first 1000 was handed to a person afterwhich d various additn..by this analogy, we will endup gettin 5100. However, d figures in d questn re ordinary figures nt representin a physical money, so, in otherwise, its nt possible handlin an invisible figure afterwhich d various additn will be effeted... I therefore say, since d numbers in d questn re just ordinary figure dat does nt represent summfin physical, d 'take' can be assumed to be 'takeaway'....If dis is d case, d correct answer will be 3100..... |

Well i cant help your case If not why would they waste time in putting ADD in all other clauses Why is it one line without the word ADD If you have done programming you would know that that line is invalid..... |

This is way too simple, the answer I got straight up within seconds at only one attempt is 5100. Seeing this on front page, I got nervous thinking it's some stuff which gon get me puzzled but I was in fact disappointed after checking the thread. Mind you, the guy who won the World Memory Challenge 2013 played with 4,200+ numbers, so this is just a child's play when considering such. 1 Like |

maballack: After much much...and in a bid to make my point clear like I said in page one, I was smart in anticipating that some pple will just do la cram.la pour and so I added a 1000 at the end as opposed to those once on the net flying around if you took time to check the figures, you would find out it has 5 1000's but the link you provided has just 4 1000's. So you are still wrong bro |
Re: Maths Riddle by maballack(m): 12:57pm On Dec 19, 2013 |
The issue is not with the Take but with the "Another 1000" standing alone with out an action word as ADD as was in every other line even when another was used again |

maballack: After much much...and in a bid to make my point clear This is the question in the link you provided and yes they are right
This question is different from mine, take time to read them going by your logic, their answer should be 3100 which mean you are saying the "internationally answered 4100 is wrong" |

bastien: guy u b BIG OLODO,which sch u dey attend self,tricky maths will never give u the real answer! From what I see, if the take means subtract, then the answer will be 3100. When u take 1000 from 0, you will get -1000, then adding the others to the value will give 3100. Except you want to give the first x value a figure |
