thunderbolt

I think u didn't get wat he asked... "A Skeith weighs 100 pounds plus half of his weight. How much does he weigh? ".. read it twice or thrice... until u get wat he means?? LOL[:D]

thunderbolt
Tell us what does it mean?

davidli2k

you can tell us the answer now...there are more than 3 guesses...[:)]

A kinda stupid question? First of all, what the $$$$ is a Skeith?

The answer is 200 lbs. Follow the steps and it will help you answer the question.:) 1. Simplify the question. For the question above you can write it like this. 100 + k/2 = k (k/2 means k divided by 2) 2. Work out! For example you could say: If half of k + 100 = k then it is like saying k - 100 = k/2. That means that 100 is 1/2 of k. 3 Conclude! You SHOULD say: 100 + k/2 (which is 100) = 200 so therefore the skieth weighs 200 lbs. 3 Simple ways to complete a mathematic Problem! Simplify the question, Work Out and Solve the question! Look for shortcuts!

WOW... ur a maths genius [bow]... I'm pathethic in maths..I almost failed in maths..[:D]

thunderbolt
how do you come up with such answers? [:-?][:-?]

davidli2k
Formosa...you're a genius!! ...but what I'm thinking here is ...it can't be that easy.....I already thought of 200 Lbs as the answer a long time ago......my guess is ...it can't be a mathematical question ...it has got to do something with the words ...like "Skeith"..it spells very similar to "Weight" ..maybe it's just a play of the words... Chinesegirl...this is a simple Math problem..Lemme explain it in an easier way: Suppose we take the weight of Skeith to be "x"..then according to the question, which says Skeith's weight is 100 Lbs plus half of his wt, then "x" should be x=100Lbs + x/2....Thus, the equation is as follows (I have broken down the equation into simple steps so you can easily understand [;)]: x=100 + x/2...(1) 2x=200 + x ...(2) [Multiplying throughout by 2.] 2x-x=200 (3) [Taking x to the other side of the equation] Therefore, x=200 Lbs [Ta Da..solved in 3 simple steps] So do you guys think this is soooooo easy?? [:-?].... OR ....maybe...just maybe...[:-?] the OP just made a typo in regards to the word "Skeith"....that's the reason why he is refraining to give out the answer (or maybe he wont)...and be made to look like a fool [:-?] ..well...it's just a wild guess...but I've never come across a word like "Skeith" in my entire existence on this planet...or maybe I could be wrong [:I]...Maybe there IS a word like "Skeith".....so OP....could you pleaseeeeeee [[-o<]...pretty please (with a cherry on top) come on out and give us the answer??...you dont want me firing out emails to the Dean of Oxford now..do you?? [;)]

WOW!! I didn't know .. we have so great mathematicians in TG ..hehe. keep it up.. !!U guys can help me out in my math problems online.. [8D]hehe..anyways..according to me.. the question that "DAWNY_67" has provided.. is not a mathematical question.. I think it's some kind of a [:-?]tricky question.. which never gets into my head..

lol .... i think maybe dawny also don't know what a skeith is .....lol ....[:D] well,i think a skeith is one of the neopets.com character. It resembles a large, fat pig with dragon wings. Skeiths are generally strong, lazy and unpleasant.

He's lying. Even though he's lying when he says "everything" he says is a lie, some of the things he says can be a lie, and this is one of them. OK more more question: A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?
