My mail is having prblm so I didn't c it

4kings:
Chai, not again.

70% ?, did I get any right?

KingEbukasBlog come and solve this.

U tried on d total figure

kretoz:
Hiaa, OK let's assume that he drops 100 coins on each stair and when he gets to the temple, he drops half the money in his pocket, and drops another hundred coins while going down, that means that half the money is 50 coins, there for 100 while going upwards +50 coins offering +100 coins while coming downwards makes it 250, 250 multiplied by 9 gives 2250, if I fail this one, I will just hide my face, looks like Annnikky wants to make me look like a dummy

no na hw can I do d@ to u

Starting from the ninth temple to the first to make the calculation easier:

Total Amount had = Amount spent + Amount leftover

Let (Y) be the Total amount he had

For the ninth temple:
Amount spent = 100 + (Y-100)/2 + 100
Since he gives 100 coins climbing up, Half of what is left(after deducting 100) to the priest and 100 climbing down.

Amount left over = 0

Using the formula above :
Total Amount had = Amount Spent + Amount leftover
Note: Y = Total Amount had
Therefore Y = (100 + (y-100)/2 + 100) + 0
Y = (200 +(y-100)/2)
Cross multiply or multiply each value by 2
2y = 400 + y - 100
2y = 300 + y
Take like terms
2y - y = 300
Y = 300
Therefore total amount had at ninth temple is 300

For eight temple.
Also apply the formula :
Y = (100 + (y-100)/2 + 100) + 300
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 +300
Cross multiply or multiply each value by 2
2y = 400 + (y-100) + 600
2y = 1000 + Y - 100
Collect like terms
2y - Y = 900
Y = 900
Therefore 900 at eight temple

For seventh temple :
Y = (100 + (y-100)/2 + 100) + 900
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 + 900
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y - 100 + 1800
Collect like terms
2y - y = 1800 + 400 - 100
Y = 2100
Therefore 2100 at seventh temple.

For sixth temple :
Y = (100 + (y-100)/2 +100) + 2100
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 + 2100
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y - 100 + 4200
Collect like terms
2y - y = 400 - 100 - 4200
Y = 4500
Therefore 4500 at sixth temple.

For fifth temple :
Y = (100 + (y - 100)/2 + 100) +4500
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 + 4500
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y - 100 + 9000
Collect like terms
2y - y = 400 - 100 + 9000
Y = 8700
Therefore 8700 at fifth temple.

For fourth temple :
Y = (100 + (y-100)/2 + 100) + 8700
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 +8700
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y - 100 + 17400
Collect like terms
2y - y = 400 - 100 + 17400
Y = 17700
Therefore 17700 at fourth temple.

For third temple :
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 + 17700
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y - 100 + 35400
Collect like terms
2y - y = 400 - 100 + 35400
Y = 35700
Therefore 35700 at third temple.

For second temple :
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 + 35700
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y-100 + 71400
Collect like terms
2y - y = 400 - 100 + 71400
Y = 71700
Therefore 71700 at second temple.

For the first temple :
Y = 200 + (y-100)/2 + 71700
Cross multiply
2y = 400 + y - 100 + 143400
Collect like terms
2y - y = 400 - 100 + 143400
Y = 143,700

Summary :
Ninth temple = 300
Eight temple = 900
Seventh temple = 2100
Sixth temple = 4500
Fifth temple = 8700
Fourth temple = 17700
Third temple = 35700
Second temple = 71700
First temple = 143700

I hope am correct

HHmmmmm.... U really tried buh thats not d ansa
I think I'll give u 70% here

adewumiopeyemi:
shey u will come for the party abi

Dunno yet ooo

kretoz:
I think it's Re.2700 coins he has total, Cos there were nine temples and each temple has hundred stairs up and downwards, if he drops one coin on each stair, he will end up dropping hundred coins while going up, when he gets up, he gives up half of the money in his pocket, if he has nine pockets, that's each pocket for each temple, that means that after dropping the first hundred coin on the stairs, he gives out half of the money remaining in his pocket and come down with the remaining half, that means he gives out 100 coins and comes down with the remaining half and it continues till he is done with the ninth temple, this means that he spends 300 coins in each temple, hence 300 multiplied by 9 gives you 2700, I hope I'm correct

Wrong try again

adewumiopeyemi:
what happen dear.. u nt somehw happy

Lol... Nuffing, Am hapi meanwhile
Gud day

femi4:

There stand nine temples in a row in a holy
place. All the nine temples have 100 steps climb.
A fellow devotee comes to visit the temples. He
drops a Re. 1 coin while climbing each of the 100
steps up. Then he offers half of the money he
has in his pocket to the god. After that, he again
drops Re. 1 coin while climbing down each of the
100 steps of the temple.

If he repeats the same process at each temple,
he is left with no money after climbing down the
ninth temple.

Can you find out the total money
he had with him initially?

4kings:
Update na...
BTW hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and I wish you a prosperous new year.

Yeah dear n i wish same to u

adewumiopeyemi:
m gud dear it has been a wile

Yeah
Hope everything's gud

4kings:
Wetin confuse you na...

Annnikky where you dey

@ ya back

4kings:
Haa, aunty annnikky you just told us the answer, I needed clues.
Solution :
We'll express the values as a, b, c, d, and e.
From the events listed above :
b = a + 5
C = b - 6
d = c + 11
e = d - 8

Annnikky said a = 10
Therefore:
a, b, c, d and e = 10, 15, 9, 20 and 12

I think the trick to solving this question is "elimination" to get a value for (a)
- 36 is the maximum value you can get.
- prime numbers are not possible apart from 5==> (5,1)(1,5)
- numbers like 14, 16, 18, 22, 28, 32 are also out.
- values like 6, 8, 9, 12, are out also, because since b =a +5, if a =6 then b is 11(prime number), also if a=8 then b is 13 also not possible. .

- So just input the remaining values(3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,) for (a) and if the other values(b, c, d, e) does not satisfy the conditions above then it's wrong, the only one that would satisfy the above conditions is 10.

Cc: kretoz

Yeeeaah.. Correct

femi4:
Let the score on the first row = x

Score on second row = x+5

Score on third row= x+5-6 = x-1

Score on fourth row= x-1+11= x+10

Finally the score on the fifth row = x+10-8 = x+2


The score on the first throw is 10.
The score on the second throw is 15.
The score on the third throw is 9.
The score on the fourth throw is 20.
The score on the fifth throw is 12.

Wow! Correct bravo

kretoz:
Lol please don't be offended, I don't have the slightest clue, Waiting for kings to answer, then I cross check it

Ok n femi4 should also come in n try

4kings:
Annnikky this question get as be oo

Can I assume values for the first two

Abeg give a little hint pleaseee.

Ok

D first throw score is 10 so solve d rest

kretoz:
I really enjoy myself when ever I visit here for teasers, please keep it up dear, as for the question, no clue

U wlcm dear buh u should've try a bit

adewumiopeyemi:
Annnikky's hw u doing

Am alryt ade n u?

Compliment of d season.....

A unique solo game of dice is being played. Two
dices are thrown in each turn and the scores are
taken by multiplying the numbers obtained.
Now talking about a particular game, here are
the facts:

1) The score for the second roll is five more than
the score for the first roll.
2) The score for the third roll is six less than the
score for the second roll.
3) The score for the fourth roll is eleven more
than the score for the third roll.
4) The score for the fifth roll is eight less than
the score for the fourth roll.

Reading the above facts, can you tell the score
for each of the five throws?

phemmyfour:
Tie

HHmmmmm.. Correct

You are giving an intelligence test. In that, you
are provided by the code - MOD OAT AIM DUE
tie

You know that only one word from this code is
true and the rest ones are only put in to make the
task difficult for you. To understand, you are
provided with a clue – If you are told any one of
the characters of the code word, you can find out
the word easily.

Can you deduce the actual code word from the
entire code?

D Sol:

They use the bricks and dirt from the tunnel to
stand on it.

femi4:
They will use the bricks they dug from the tunnel to escape

HHmmmmm... U got 50%

KingEbukasBlog:
The pile of sand that was dug out enabled them to reach the window 40 feet away .

cc : 4kings

Wrong

4kings:
They stood on the sand, that was dug out, to jump out.

Nope.. Try again

Two world's famous prisoners 'Colditz' and
'Pascal' are locked in a cell.
They plan to escape from the cell.
They noticed there is an open window at 40 feet
above the ground level.
Both of them tried very hard but are never able
to reach there.

Then both of them decided to plan to escape by
a tunnel and they start digging out.
After digging for just 5 days, Colditz and Pascal
comes out with the much more easier plan than
tunneling and they escaped.

what was the plan ?
