There's no answer to the question( There was no extra N1 in the first place).... Because the total amount spent can never be equal to the balance For example, using N50 again Spent............Balance ...10...................40 ...20...................20 ...15...................5 ....5....................0 ---------..............-------- ...50..................65. <=====Total --------...............-------- 2 Likes |

1. There is no reason for the two to have equal answers 2. It's not reasonable to add balances 3. There is no extra #1 The sum is simply 51 |

Ok the question isn't why is it so,or if its logical or if its an illusion or not. Well if its the aforementioned then the answer is very easy,amount spent is never equal to Balance left,cus by adding just the balance you are adding the same values over and over again. But rather the question is where does the extra 1naira come from? its an assumption so we are to accept the fallacy of amount Spent=Balance,accepting that ,let's go On the spent we have 20,15,9,6------ and for the balance we have 30,15,6,0 Remember the rule Spent=Balance(since they are equal eliminating each other should give 0) Doing that we go with the figures *) spent(15)=Balance (15), 15(balance) eliminates 15(spent)=15-15=0 *)Spent(6)=Balance(6), 6(balance) eliminates 6(spent)=6-6=0 Now on the side of the spent we have N20 and N9 left,,,for the balance we have N30 and N0 left,adding both we have N29 for spent and N30 for balance Here the anomaly comes,applying the formular Spent(N29)=Balance(N30), N30(balance) eliminates N29(spent)= N30-N29= N1 And that is where the extra 1naira comes from. 2 Likes |

gabonsky:I love riddles like this,it stretches the imagination and teaches the lesson of not to see situations as YOU WANT OR EXPECT THEM TO BE but rather TAKE THEM AS THEY ARE.... Sometimes instead of thinking outside the box just think around the box |

Ermmm**clears throat*** According to your question, If we are dealing with our naira, and the amount spent in buying an item. There is no way, you can purchase a good for #9 and be left with #6. At least I don't think I can buy anything with #9, since I can't be given #6 change. So I think to balance the equation: You have to spend #10 and be given a change of #5 for the total money spent to be equal #50. **just my thoughts tho....Correct me if am wrong** P.s: the #1 naira came from the #9 instead of #10 and #6 instead of #5 |
