When numbers don't add up...
When numbers don't add up... Hello friends, it's been a while since I've done a new blog post. Life is what happens to you while you make other plans, and I've had a few figurative wars to wage offline. Today's entry: Our local ad flyer with trivia and quiz questions recently posted a quiz with an incorrect answer. Q: A man is hired to paint office numbers from one to one hundred in a building. How many times will he paint the number nine? A: (incorrect) Nineteen, one each in each group of ten from 1 to 89 and ten in the nineties. Those of you adept at math can already see that they are one off. The correct answer is twenty, because ninety-nine has an extra nine. Actually, there is another possible correct answer: forty. This happens if the painter uses the same stencil template for six and nine, so he paints twenty nines upside down as well. |
