Solve the world's toughest riddle

Addition of remaining amount has nothing to do with addition of money spent..it's as simple as that
Re: Can U Solve The World's Toughest Riddle by pendusky(m): 2:04pm On Jul 09, 2016
for instance I have #10


I spend. 5 Balance remain 5
Spent another 5 Balance remain 0

Amount Spent is 10 So can you say Balance Remaining is 5? nope The balance has nothing to do with addition

You might need to ask an accountant with vast knowledge in cost accounting. But then its non of my business.

This is as simple as abc.
The 1 in the 51 came from the addition done in the column that represents balance ie 30 + 15 + 6 + 0 = 51
It has nothing to do with how the money got spent.

Using economics knowledge on the sudject matter called National income.

We were meant to believe that there are different ways of measuring of national income inter alia the Output approach.

When measuring national income using output approach, we strive to get the actual value of goods and of such try to discard any element of Double counting through using Value added system.

The one naira gotten in this question can be traced and classify as double counting. For us to truly know the double counting value, there must be some little calculation.
The recognised way of doing this (is the value added system) and this recommend the difference between total output over total input(i.e income). This is because total income must equal total output.


In a nutshell, a figure has been counted twice
