Very interesting but simple teaser. Emeka lost just #1000. The presence of the neighbour there is just to confuse the person answering. Now to simplify it: - The customer brought a fake 1000 note.(of course unknown to emeka) - Emeka exchanges the fake 1000 naira note for 5 smaller units. - Emeka gave the customer 200 goods plus 800 naira change. - Emeka replaces the fake 1000 note with a real one. - Emeka ends up with a fake 1000 naira. - In short, its like the customer got 200 naira goods plus 800 naira change without paying any dime since the money is fake. Thus Emeka lost 1000 naira in total. 1 Like |

Luvties:it's 1000 naira. 800 naira change (the 1000 he gave his neighbour minus the 200 naira with him) and 200 naira worth goods (the goods he gave to the person with fake money) |

Emeka lost #2000. #1000- that he had to replace from his pocket. #800- the change he gave to the customer. #200- the worth of the 'free' goods he unknowingly gave the customer. Poor Emeka |
