Brain Twister...

Something to work your brains up... given by ry few days back... she really made my brains work hard.. hahaha... but uncle Des manage to solve my headache... thanks man.. must give him some credits for his hardwork... Try it for yourself..

A farmer used RM100 to buy 100 chickens.

1 Rooster = RM6
1 Hen = RM3
1 Chick = RM0.10

The farmer bought exactly 100 chickens for the exact value of RM100. How many of the 100 chickens are Roosters, Hens and Chicks?

Enjoy!!

hahahaha...my brain is full of shit now....with all those things that happened in our "Boleh Land" lately.....

i think i better ask the seller how many Roosters, Hens and Chicks he sold to the farmer later....

59x + 29y = 900. okay..duno how to count from there already.. maths fail. ahhahahhah

wahh.. this is maths!!

rooster = x
hen = y
chick = z

6x + 3y + 0.1z = 100

okay... i am lazy to expand from this... anyone?

One rooster, 30 hens and 10 chicks. That's $97. With the $3 left, he roasted one hen for Christmas and bought another one. The rooster does his thing with the hens. Each hen laid two eggs. All the eggs laid by those hens hatched. The rooster died. No one knew whether it was due to exhaustion or happiness. 100 chickens left. Not one penny to spare.

70 chicks of the megan foxx variety
29 hens of the joanne variety
1 rooster of the kenny variety

the reviewer... you sure have a real good creativity...

wow.. sca1lywag... how long did you take to figure that out? :) though your answer is a little off.. :P

im not really sure about this but the way i see it, there are 3 unknowns i.e

x=no of roosters
y=no of hens
z=no of chicks

therefore: 3 unknowns = 3 equations
unfortunately i can only get 2 equations that is:

number of chickens:

x+y+z=100


and how many of each that will result in RM100:

6x + 3y + 0.10z = RM100

so i'm stuck here...
there's no solution to this unless there is another equation to relate to

but of course, i could be wrong
