101-102=1
Is that the answer? you don't have to move the 1 to make the answer true. it already is. because it isn't false. I think you just stuffed this brain teaser up. |

NO!
read carefully pls... 101-102.. not the other way round...102-101 101-102 is supposed to be -1, but my qn is.... 101-102=1 ur supposed to shift the position of 1 digit to make it true! its absolutely true brain teaser and works.. my physics teacher gave it to the class and i figured it out! |

Oh you must feel special. Why don't you try my Brain Teaser? Brainteaser: Shadow(the links in my sig). And what do you mean by "its absolutly true brain teaser and works..." mine works, just has no real logical answer.
I will get back to you with the answer. By the way: because of my ignorance i just got 30 hosting credits allowing me to start with the default package. I repeat again I WILL GET BACK TO YOU WITH THE ANSWER!!! |

If you put it like this l101-102l and the results is 1, and that's true.
It's absolute-thingy I forgot exactly what the name it is. Anyway, you both brain teaser is good, no need to fight for it

that's called a modulus. buts its wrong!
ur not supposed to put anything extra into the equation. jus shift the position of 1 of the digit... go on tryin... go on go on... |

Alright then, can you add an equation?
My answer for your teaser would be move the 2 to the other side and add it. 101 - 10 = 1 + 2 101 - 10 = 3 And when you look at the left side of the equation in binary form, it solves as 5 - 2 = 3 |

Even if you made it show the absolute value, it would be positive 101 - positive 1 |
