Where's the remaining $1,000? This is a problem which is really hard to understand how it ends. This is how it goes; You have 2 friends, John and Anna. You borrow $50,000 from both, which means you get a sum of $100,000. You buy a laptop which costs $97,000, so then you have $3,000 remaining. You give $1,000 to John, and another $1,000 to Anna, and you keep the remaining $1,000 for yourself. Now, if calculate this mathematically, you have actually only taken $49,000 from John, and $49,000 from Anna. Here comes the problem. $49,000 + $49,000 = $98,000... Right? But then you had $1,000 with you. So if we add those two like this; $98,000 + $1,000, you get $99,000. WHAT? Where's the other thousand? How did $100,000 become $99,000 at the end?? My father told me, that to find the answer to solve this problem, you need to use "Reverse Phsycology". But how? If you had found a way to unknot this knoted problem, please leave your answer below. If you haven't, just leave your thoughts about this below :)
