Let's say I borrowed 100 rubles from a friend, went to the store, and lost them. Then I met a friend and borrowed 50 rubles from her, bought two chocolate bars for 10 rubles each, and had 30 rubles left. I gave those 30 rubles to my friend, and now I owe him 70 rubles and my friend 50 rubles, totaling 120 rubles. Plus, I have two chocolate bars worth 20 rubles.

That's a total of 140 rubles!

Where are the other 10 rubles?:smile50:

But in the end, I still owed 120 rubles, 70 to a friend and 50 to a girl, and I also bought two chocolate bars like an idiot, so I found something to spend the money on.
So, consider that I added two chocolate bars worth 10 rubles each to the hundred.

Yes, chocolate bars that cost ten rubles are not worth buying. You should buy good quality ones.

It's not a paradox))) I thought about it for a long time myself, and finally found 10.

I went down into the dungeon to the Orcs and hacked my way with a sword to their leader, taking the sacred ten rubles from him.

He must have remained; this isn't an asset, but a liability, and the chocolates are an asset.

If this is figured out, I still have plenty of brain-dissolving solvents in stock.

Actually, twice. And I figured it out even before reading the content of this thread.

This isn't a paradox; it's a math problem with a flawed premise. It's a very simple riddle, suitable for elementary school. And it's quite old news, too.

Here's another one:
There are no iron objects in the room, except for two metal bars, one of which is a magnet.
How can you determine which of the bars is the magnet?
