Solve 3 puzzles trick and find out how smart you are

If you answered 10 cents, 100 minutes and 24 days, we hasten to disappoint you: it is the wrong decision. Try to return to the task and think again, slowly over them. If you give answers that are different from these, feel free to read on.

In order to pass this test, it is important to give an answer that comes to mind first.

1. If the ball is really worth 10 cents, then bit more expensive that its $ 1 would cost $ 1 + 10 cents. This is contrary to the terms of the problem. Let's look at the solution. Let's say the price of the ball - X. Bit worth $ 1 more - X + 1. Obtain the following equation: X + (X + 1) = 1.1, because together bat and ball cost $ 1.1. We solve the equation:

2X + 1 = 1.1;

2X = 1,1 - 1;

2X = 0,1;

X = 0.05.

So, the ball is worth 5 cents and a bit - $ 1.05.

Answer: 5 cents.
