all of you saying 4100 are bloody cheats... take 1000 and add 40 to it means you are given a value of 1000 for a start. it in no way means -1000 you wannabe mathematicians how do you solve word problems? my answer is 5100 1 Like |

CristyBEN: The trick there is that the 3rd 1000 ws only mentioned and not ask to be added, therefore the answer is 4100 ADD 20, then ANOTHER 1000 let's take you to the kitchen where you can relate....ADD pepper, then salt. 2 Likes |

bobby256:you or your teachers need to be flogged..... Have you heard of negative integers? Or that integers are a subset of real numbers?......... It might be wrong to add real numbers and integers in your programming without parsing, but in maths it is perfectly legal...................... Then for the second group of olodos that assume take 1000 means take from 0, why don't you all assume you initially had 1,000000 instead of zero?.............. Anyways just give the damned question to your brothers or sisters in nursery or primary school 1 Like |

I jst asked my younger brother who came 2nd at d F.C.T cowbell maths competition & he says its 5100. Accordin to him, this basic maths concept is more of a practical application dan a theoritical one, so d idea of "take" bein referred 2 as "take away" doesnt come into play(thereby introducin d -ve sign).. For me-every riddle has a practical application, so d idea of goin into detailed theoritical maths concept as against realistic obtainability is uncalled for- i go with my bro- #5100 |

cayesworld: Wow! This is an entirely new dimension to it. Now sheet's cray! I actually didn't add that 'Another 1000' and arrived at 4100. But this seems more valid than mine. |

Akpangbon: You are adding 1000 four times --> 4000 I bet you didn't see the last "add 1000" or you think its the same with those ones on Facebook? |
Re: Maths Riddle by viexcey(f): 7:43am On Dec 19, 2013 |
The correct answer is 5100 But if u say we have to take away 1000,the answer is still not 4100,it will be; 0 - 1000 = -1000 + 40 = -960 -960 + 1000 = 40 + 30 = 70 70 + 1000 = 1070 + 20 = 1090 1090 + 1000 = 2090 + 10 = 2100 ~ 2100 + 1000 = 3100 1 Like |
Re: Maths Riddle by haibe(m): 7:46am On Dec 19, 2013 |
femolala1: with my mathematical knowledge, i think op is wrong. In mathematics, when you take any figure then you have a negative i.e. -1000. therefore, we have -1000+40+30+20+10+1000+1000+1000+1000=3100 did you see, take 1000 and add 40 to it" Solve this first and get back to me, also take is very different from take away. |

unmask: you or your teachers need to be flogged..... Have you heard of negative integers? Or that integers are a subset of real numbers?......... It might be wrong to add real numbers and integers in your programming without parsing, but in maths it is perfectly legal...................... Integers are supersets of real numbers. Integers span from -infinity to +infinity while real numbers are from 0 to +infinity. I concur to every other thing you said. |

The answer is 3100 My explanation: Take 1000 results in -1000 since we were not asked to take 1000 from 1000. |

dejibimbo: Take 1000, (-1000) add 1000 (=0), 40+30+20+10=100.... You know the word another denotes something of the same type or a similar action? I can see english is some people's problem and not the math itself, little wonder why people fail English more than mathematics. |
Re: Maths Riddle by Bantino(m): 8:28am On Dec 19, 2013 |
The answer is 5100 logically but from the fact that nothing existed and there is no number bank to draw from, the real answer is 0 ![]() ![]() |

Ok...let's leave our brothers peddling conspiracy theories and arriving at either 4100 or 3100. What about those still arriving at 6000 well into the 5th page of this thread? A round of applause for them....these are the real OLODOS! 1 Like |

cayesworld:yea bro, a very big possibility too considering that it was called a mathematical puzzle, I think even the op sef didn't observe this. From afar, its 5100, bt lookning at the question critically, u see y its called a mathematical puzzle. |
