ODD AND EVEN DIGITS.
(
Money Puzzles)
The odd digits, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, add up 25, while the even figures, 2,
4, 6, and 8, only add up 20. Arrange these figures so that the odd ones
and the even ones add up alike. Complex and improper fractions and
recurring decimals are not allowed.
Answer:
As we have to exclude complex and improper fractions and recurring
decimals, the simplest solution is this: 79 + 5+1/3 and 84 + 2/6, both
equal 84+1/3. Without any use of fractions it is obviously impossible.
