Maths Riddle

[steve-h]

This is more of a rehash job than the call of duty games...

 

[Emjeadea]

love these little riddles

 

[Kenai]

You borrow the following money from:

Mum - £50
Dad - £50

You buy a present for £97 and have £3 change from £100

You then split the change, so from the 3 pound coins you give

Mum - £1
Dad - £1
put £1 in the charity box.

So really you have only borrowed from your parents

Mum - £49
Dad - £49
= £98

£98 + that £1 you put in the charity box = £99.

Wheres the other £1 ??

No.

£98 - £1 that you put in the charity box = £97.

There is no other £1.

That line in bold is a completely irrelevant and misleading sum

If an Elephant weighs 850Kg and travels 12 Km a day eating 25Kg of food and 20Km a day but eating 40Kg of food where do the people who actually give a **** live?

 

[Fenris]

That is not a riddle.

It's just dumb.

Older than time.

 

[dowie]

£98 + that £1 you put in the charity box = £99.

Wheres the other £1 ??

you borrowed £98

You bought a present for £97 and gave £1 to charity

97 + 1 = 98

question is retarded

So, if we put an aeroplane on a really large treadmill, will it ever take off?

 

[fez]

erm... you spend £97 on the parents, so thats £48.50 each

you give them another pound each so thats £49.50 each, not £49 each

someone cant do maths

No they can't!
