Re: Brain Teaser!! This Question Is Meant For Geniuses Alone – Prove Yourself by Kentnickole(m): 10:18pm On Jun 12, 2017 |
savvyChuks:The question says "how many chocolate can you get" not wrapper. |

femi4: Young man, it is called precision! If 3 wrappers can give you one chocolate, how many chocolate can a wrapper give you How about that? Rule 1: Don't discard remainders! Rule 2: Don't argue what can be proven correctly! Rule 3: When you don't know His type, you remain calm! #Maths Should be fun, flexible and must leave you in frenzy # 1 Like |

Re: Brain Teaser!! This Question Is Meant For Geniuses Alone – Prove Yourself by femi4: 11:40am On Jun 14, 2017 |
MoyoGENERAL:Its not reasonable cos you can't have a chocolate in decimal point. The condition stated was clear, you can't have chocolate in rational numbers. Perhaps you don't understand the meaning of the word "Reasonable" |
Re: Brain Teaser!! This Question Is Meant For Geniuses Alone – Prove Yourself by MoyoGENERAL: 12:18pm On Jun 14, 2017 |
femi4: ..... I share a chocolate equally between A,B and C, How many chocolate will each get? Think about the answer! You talked about condition, can you tell me where itwas stated in the question? "A Shop sells 1 chocolate at 1$, you can exchange 3 wrappers for 1 chocolate . If you have $15 , how many chocolates can you get ? Put your brain to the test.." Where is the condition? It's just a question, solve! simple! Don't assume what it isn't! "Oh, ethereal bank of knowledge, why not share with us what you've got as meaning of reasonable" We'll love to see! Rule 6: To Better your maths Skills, you need to look deep, grasp concepts then stay flexible while solving! |

Re: Brain Teaser!! This Question Is Meant For Geniuses Alone – Prove Yourself by MoyoGENERAL: 1:30pm On Jun 14, 2017 |
femi4:Let's do small Maths and LOGIC: If A is a SET And A={ you can exchange 3 wrappers for 1 chocolate} Now if given Sets B,C and D as; B={ 1 wrapper will give 0.33 chocolate) C={ Chocolates do not have irrational numbers} D={ You cannot have decimals in chocolates} Which of them can be closely inferred as a subset of A? Which of them can be TRUE if A is True without needing additional information? #Maths-Rhythm, when you aren't in sync, you're Off# |
Re: Brain Teaser!! This Question Is Meant For Geniuses Alone – Prove Yourself by femi4: 1:44pm On Jun 14, 2017 |
MoyoGENERAL:This is not maths....This is logic. Don't treat it as maths. In logic, if I tell you that A implies B....it doesn't mean that B implies A If 3wrappers = 1 chocolate, logically 1 wrapper is not 0.33 chocolate Don't bring in unstated conditions to justify your inference. Its illogical |
Re: Brain Teaser!! This Question Is Meant For Geniuses Alone – Prove Yourself by MoyoGENERAL: 2:16pm On Jun 14, 2017 |
femi4: Funny! If it isn't maths, may be you should have used logic to solve the entire problem!! Haven't you read about proportionality! #It won't take time to study and Master# They say, 3 can give one: how much can one then give! #Mehn# BTW....You conjured the unstated condition,"Chocolates cannot be in decimals"...Who said that That's out of context! purely irrelevant! I only followed the proportionality statement, which is mathematically and logically correct! Haven't you seen where 3 kids will share a chocolate amongst themselves, even equally # |
Re: Brain Teaser!! This Question Is Meant For Geniuses Alone – Prove Yourself by femi4: 2:28pm On Jun 14, 2017 |
MoyoGENERAL:This is a buying and selling condition. You are not sharing chocolate among kids. If I m a wholesaler, what gives you the impression that you can buy in retail. |
