I wanted to vote to find out but then I'd ruin it for everyone else. Title: Re: Quick maths question Post by: rex008 on April 13, 2012, 10:38:08 PM The answer depends on what the correct answer is.
Title: Re: Quick maths question Post by: pokerfan on April 13, 2012, 10:43:13 PM The answer depends on what the correct answer is. There isn't a correct answer, so we can't be wrong. That's how I see it any way. Title: Re: Quick maths question Post by: rex008 on April 13, 2012, 10:46:50 PM The answer depends on what the correct answer is. There isn't a correct answer, so we can't be wrong. That's how I see it any way. What I meant was, if the correct answer is 25% then the answer is 50%. If the correct answer is 50%, then the answer is 25%. It's a paradoxical problem, and unsolvable.

Title: Re: Quick maths question Post by: ManuelsMum on April 14, 2012, 09:02:51 PM Ok thanks for that, a bit clearer now.
I'm a bit of a maths noob sorry, just getting to grips with it. Is maths like .....just a thing in my head or an actual thing in the real world? Can't figure it out.
