EDITED: I replaced the 2nd and 3rd person to a litteral name so that you can picture the flow easily.

Ok, math question: You saw a Red Arlor cap for warrior in auction cost 97k only!!!, so you decided to borrow Remiem 50k, and another 50k from Samhayne to buy the said vanity. After you bought the vanity how much gold left on your pocket? Answer: 3k, ryt? Then you decided to return the 1k to Remiem and another 1k to Samhayne, so you still owe Remiem and Samhayne 49k each... How much gold left on you???
1k ryt???
Thus:
49k + 49k + 1k (on you pocket)=99k...

Where is the 1k????
The one that can answer will receive a jester vanity set! :-) sorry Im poor

[Stewart Griffin]

Ugh could fishing reading there were too many numbers :)


Take care ^_^ ign: kingstewart

[Coffee Mctgl]

you shoudnt add the borrowed money and the money you gave back together. add the borrowed money frst then add the change separately.
50k+50k = 100
100-97k = 3k
give them 2k so u still have 1k

100k - 2k = 98k

98k - 1k u have = 97k.

lol hope im right

1k is in your pocket and other 1k is in your other friend's pocket

[elmanco]

?..taxes...lol...

U have the suit (97k) + 1k gold = 98k
And ur friends (-49k each) = -98k

98k+(-98k)= 0

[elmanco]

Or like finally u say
49k+49k+1k=97k+1k+1k (the 1k each friend have on their pocket)

Ok, math question: You saw Red Arlor in auction cost 97k only, so you decided to borrow me 50k, and another 50k from a friend to buy the vanity.

Then you decided to return the 1k to me and another 1k to your other friend, so you still owe me and your friend 49k each... How much gold left on you? 1k ryt? 49k + 49k + 1k (on you pocket)=99k.

49k + 49k + 1k (on you pocket)=99k
This passage is wrong xP xP if you sum what you remain and what you have to do is also like sum beans and carrots as same mat to make a cook recipe


You should sum what you decide to consider,or what you borrow or what you need to pay and you will have the correct answer
Need to pay: 49x2(remain) +1(played to you) +1 payed to your friend total 100

the 1k in this case is the trick to fall the donkeys( because you haven't pay to noone)


Most important thing: IGN skorpionx ;)

50+50=100
100-97=3
3-2=1
You borrow 100. Paid out 97+2=99. You have 1k in your pocket.
I guess this is what you are asking?!

[mightymynk]

Ok i know this question. I have encounter it before. Actually the 1k has gone nowhere. The question is just tricking u. Anyway what you do is give 500 to each of your friend from the 1k u hav in ur pocket. So now u owe them 48.5k each. So 48.5k + 48.5k = 97k and u had 3k before. 1k each to friend and 500 given later. So 48.5k+48.5k+1k+1k+500+500= 100k . Hope this was nice explanation. Ask if u have any question

Exactly so the 1 k is in your pocket. We can all make up the rest of story for where it went. Bought 1k worth of pots, bought egg worth 1k, have to someone else etc etc. Point is that one k is with you to you do something with it.

[Socrates]

lol the 1k is in your pocket

[Mrmalibog]

1k is in your pocket and other 1k is in your other friend's pocket
Almost there Zeus!!!

[Socrates]

I think I got it the 1K is in my pocket the other 1k is in your pocket and the other 1k is at my friend's pocket

[faychen]

100k = red arlor (97k) in my inventory + 1k in my pocket + 1k I returned you + 1k I returned another friend

[Mrmalibog]

49k (you owe me) + 49k (you owe to your friend) = 98k + 1k (on your pocket) = 99k....
Again, where is the 1k more??? Remember, you borrowed a sum total of 100k all in all.

[leokenpachi]

1k is on your pocket or my pocket

[Socrates]

well let's see now the other 1k was used to buy the vanity am I wrong?

[Xeusx]

1k is on your hand or in your stash.

[Socrates]

1k is on your hand or in your stash.

lol bro he means the one extra 1k that remains from 49k+49k+1k (on my pocket)

[Xeusx]

Now i got it
The other 1k is on your other pocket or wallet.

[Socrates]

bro is it possible that that 1k doesn't even exist because the money you own to your friends now are 98k plus the 1k so where you find that 1k more? Unless you mean 1k in real life

You have 2 friends and you gave them back 1k each. So the 1k left is on ur wallet

What the heck is the question here? I have read it several times and yet I don't understand what you want to know. Where the 1k is? There is no missing money here. What has happened is as follows :

Money borrowed :
Person 1 = +50k
Person 2 = +50k
Total = +100k


Money Owing
Repay Person 1 - 1k(total remaining -49k)
Repay Person 1 - 1k(total remaining -49k)
Total Repaid = -2k
Total Owing = -98k

Total Debt = -2k + -98k = -100k

It all adds up. Another way to look at it is as follows :

Money borrowed :
Person 1 = +50k
Person 2 = +50k
Total = +100k


Money Owing
Repay Person 1 - 1k(total remaining -49k)
Repay Person 1 - 1k(total remaining -49k)
Total Owing = -98k

Total Debt = 1k(in pocket) + 97k(Arlor) -98k(owing) = 0

It all adds up. There is a flaw in the way the question is worded. Its misleading. There is no 1k.

[cooletzzz]

U bought the vanity 97k and asked credit worth of 100k.
100k-97k=3k
U give back 1k and having 49k credit each and 1k left.
49k+49k=98 (still credit left)

Ps. You cant add ur 1k left in ur pocket against the credit.

Correct formulas:

Credit+credit=credit
Paid+paid=paid
Balanced+balanced=balanced

you cant mix the formula!

[Deadroth]

1 k is in your player wallet.

Better ask for something... more... HARD? idk..

All who posted above me with their calculations.. just.. lol.
This is a troll contest. This is obivious he have 1k at his player account.
No need to make special formulas here.

[Mrmalibog]

Lol deadrothz :-) you are the 1 that Im expecting to answer this question :-) try to lay down some formula

[Socrates]

lol man are you trolling us we said every possible combination and still no winner?
1) the 1k is in my pocket
2) the 1k is in my friend's pocket
3) the 1k is in your pocket
4) the 1k is in your real life
5) the 1k it was used to buy the arlor vanity
6) there isn't 1k
SO I AM SCRATCHING MY HEAD AND STILL CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT OTHER COMBINATION MIGHT BE zzzzzzzz

[Deadroth]

Where is the 1k???? The one that can answer will receive a jester vanity set! :-) sorry Im poor

To borrow You?... Makes no sense, it is like i gave You 50k and got 50k from friend. To borrow from you if so... idk..

Wierd one. Nothing to calculate here.

[Mrmalibog]

You guys are not considering one more thing -.- Zeus was almost there honestly... try to figure it out on real money and u will certainly know where the 1k is...

[Bigboyblue]

I think the real question is who sold the Red Arlor for 97k?

Mrmalibog, the problem with your questions is you add two negatives and a positive like they are all positives. Its really -49k + -49k + 1k = -97k. The exact price you paid for the Arlor and what is still owing. Why are the amount owing listed as positives? The question is flawed and makes no sense. Are you actually expecting an answer from someone.

My answer is TROLL!!

It really has bro :) at first I thought there's no answer here, but certainly has :) I will let this thread stay open until someone post the right answer....
NOTE: If there's an M.D.A.S there's also an S.A.D.M

[Silent_Less]

The answer is : Why should I owe you and other friend 49k gold ? Because the ARLOR price is 97k , 48.50 + 48.50 = 97k , so the 3k gold left given to each of you . 3k divide by 2 is 1.5k gold . Sooooo , I dont have any gold to buy that ARLOR . I owe from both of you . Why should I take the 1k gold ? ;)

[Fyrce]

OMG *rolls eyes*

100k = 97k item + 3k = (49k owed *2) + (1k paid *2)


You already had the right answer, but some brains will never understand it. Make some piles on a desk to see where the word problem has lied to you.

That question is confusing :-$


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Socrates]

the 1k is at my friend's pocket and your pocket because 48,50+48,50=97k so to reach 49k as you said you have to add 500gold and 500gold to both of your friends so that 1k is not solid but seperated in 2

[Rare]

The format of the question is flawed.

As some other stated, the way its laid out is incorrect.

97k + 3k = 50k + 50k
97k + 1k = 49k + 49k

if you want to add 1k to the right side, you need to add it to the left side also.

97k + 1k + (1k) = 49k + 49k + (1k)

[Kalahesi]

Any maths professors in the house? I really want to understand...In lay mans terms.

This is a classic logical misdirection strategy used by magicians and scam artists.

The point here is that the OP wants you to focus on the fact that 49+49+1 = 99 and not 100. This misdirects you from the fact that in this equation, the item purchased with the loans is not present and the numbers are not showing up in the correct side of the ledger.

The correct equation in this game is actually:

97k (vanity) + 1k (your pocket) + 1k (friend 1 pocket) + 1k (friend 2 pocket) = 50k (loaned by friend 1) + 50k (loaned by friend 2)


Misrepresenting the above formula is where the misdirection is happening because what the OP is trying to convince you of is that:

100 <> (50 - 1) + (50 - 1) + 1

This example puts the credits and debits in the wrong locations which is why this proof fails. A double ledger system only works if the correct numbers show up on the correct side of the ledger...

Red arlor cap : 97k

U borrowed : 100k

U returned : 2k , U owe 49 (x2) , U have 1k (pocket) = 1k is in the red arlor cap

[Bii]

100k (u borrowed from samhayne + remiem) - 97k (red arlor cap) - 2k (u returned) - 1k (pocket) = 0k

Now you have a red arlor cap + 1k in your pocket, = 98k (because u returned 2k)

And you owe 49k x 2 = 98k

There's no 1k, the 1k is either in the debt of remiem + samhayne or its in the red arlor cap.

[Socrates]

[B][I]EDITED:
Thus:
49k + 49k + 1k (on you pocket)=99k...


the 1k is in my pocket

[Arturohoward]

- 97k/2 = 48.5K
- 48.5 + 1K = 49.5K(of each one)
- 49.5 x 2 = 99K
- 99k + 1k (on your pocket) = 100k

Here is the answer

they put 49.5k each one, no only 49.

The real "problem" is on how u did the math problem question

[Bii]

If u must insist the 1k is there, the other 1k is either with samhayne or remiem.

[Socrates]

man can't you give us at least a hint

[Orageunas]

1k is between the and ?
lol :)

[Bii]

The place (1k) is at: Nowhere

Ign : Gave

[Socrates]

the 1k was used to buy the vanity because all of the 3k are mentioned to be given 1st was given to remiem second was given to samhayne and you mention that the last one is in my pocket. So that leave us with the actual cost of the vanity that is 97k. If this is wrong too I am going to hit a wall HARD :P


(49k)+(49k)+1k on my pocket
(1k given)+(1k given)
this make a total of 3k so that 1k was probably used to buy the vanity so that 1k is in AUCTION

Now guys, first of all "I made a trick on that question" :)
There is no need for an expanded formula for this... well, u may do your own formula, but it will not answer the question "WHERE"
There is no sense of adding both of the 49k coz I owe them to a DIFFERENT individual...

Now, my question is WHERE is the 1k?
Think about it carefully and it will come up to the idea that its already in the AUCTION!!!

You don't have 1k in your pocket as

Your in 98k of debt (so your curreny in theory is -98k)

1-98 = -97

So in your pocket you have 00000000000 :) hahaha

Or your a noob and used the 1k to list it in auction for 18000 (12day period)
