Hi guys, I heard this puzzle on the radio today and didnt quite agree with the answer given.
I will try as much as possible to reproduce it as i heard it:
"I want to make 3 deposits to a bank. My first deposit was 11k, the 2nd was 33k. What will the 3rd deposit be?"
I wasn't good in Maths. But from the foregoing, if the first deposit was 11K, and the second one was 33K, the third one should be three times of the second one and six times the first one. Therefore the third deposit is 66K, based on my assumptions, that it is increasing on the rate of three times the original(first deposit)!
Share your answer and reason behind it. I will share the answer they gave later. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet
