So I borrow €50 from MissFab and €50 from _ommando4. I’ve now got €100. I pop off to Ann Summers and spend €97 on a male sex toy. I’ve got €3 change. I give €1 to Miss Fab and now owe her €49. I give €1 to _ommando4 and now owe him €49. So collectively I owe €98 plus the €1 I still have. That’s €99. Where did the other €1 go?

Its how its phrased.Reverse the maths then you get €100 = €1 + €1 repaid + 97 on the sex toy + €1 change you have. Riddle solved.

If we count what you actually owe them is 49 + 49 =98 added to what you've given them 1+1=2

98+2 = 100.

There is no spare pounds.

Let's pretend that it's not money but apples. Things that you take are apples which magically turn into oranges when they're in your hands. You gave an apple back to each of them and you still owe them 49 apples. Orange that you're holding in your hand doesn't add to the whole sum

Simple

You spent 97 you gave 2 back and you still

have 1. 97+2+1=100. You owe 98 which is comprised of the 97 you spent plus the 1 you still have

No you are still subtracting

The solution is this when subtracting in binary you don’t actually subtract one number from another as we do in decimal. We use a technique called the 2s compliment and then add the two numbers together. May sound confusing but actually binary is far simpler than decimal as there only 2 digits to worry about ie 0 and 1. It’s just that we are thought to work from an early age in decimal (or base10).

Ok this is how it works

You change to binary ie 2 is now 0010. Then you take the number on the bottom line 2 and convert using 2s compliment which basically means start from right hand side and keep each bit the same up to and including the first “1” then invert each bit after that so a 1 becomes a zero and vice versa. So 0010 now becomes 1110. Then simply add 0010 and 1110 which equals 10000. Forget the 1 on the left hand side and your left with 0000 which equals 0 in decimal. This is how a computer does its calculations.

Might look difficult but actually very simple once you get used to thinking in terms of 1 and 0 only and why a computer can do so many calculations in a short time space.

To clarify 'That Man' is my son. If I have no brothers and sisters then my father's son can only be me. Which means I (me) am that man's father.

It’s fairly deceptive when you think of all the digits you can use but the limiter is the chess move. Basically any sequence must start or finish with 5. The answer is 4.
