haibe: If you looked carefully you would notice there are 5 1000's.

Am a smart dude too, I reframed the question adding the last 1000 which was not in those ones flying around facebook
u can't add what u have taken,u said take 1000,always know that take,is still take away in maths
Re: Maths Riddle by haibe(op): 1:30pm On Dec 18, 2013
bastien: This is a Trick question, if you look hard
enough. The answer of your question is 4100.
When you calculate it in your head, or use a
calculator, You get 4100. Look closely. The
answer is not 5000.
There are 4 1000's. However, 30 + 20 + 40 + 10
≠ 1000. Your answer is 4100.
So why didn't you take away 1000 here, lol. or didn't u calculate this?

guy don't confuse yourself, take 1000 and add 40 to it mean add 40 to 1000, it doesn't mean minus 1000, minus from what by the way?

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.

haibe: Note: This riddle must be
done IN
YOUR HEAD ONLY and NOT
using
paper and a pen.
Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 30.
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.

So the bastien nigga jes crammed the solution without thinking, naija get different brands of olodo oo.
Re: Maths Riddle by jdilight(m): 11:58pm On Dec 18, 2013
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!
smart man where did you take the 1000 away from, no trick in the maths. the trick is in the statement that there is a trick then u tricked urself with wrong reasoning
Re: Maths Riddle by guru25(m): 11:58pm On Dec 18, 2013
bastien: u can't add what u have taken,u said take 1000,always know that take,is still take away in maths
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

Intelligent post.
Re: Maths Riddle by jdilight(m): 12:02am On Dec 19, 2013
bastien: do u know have seen these question since last 3month before now,I even post it on my page I admin on facebook,so I can tell u,I'm not wrong
that a question a existed for a lifetime doesn't make it correct until it is correct. no matter who have seen it, it is who shows interest that points an error.
Re: Maths Riddle by Balyz: 12:03am On Dec 19, 2013
