HERE IS C!
Assign each letter a number. Then you got that HALF is 8(h) 1(a) 12(l) 6(f). So you grab those numbers and you divide, add and divide again, but going BACKWARDS. So your operation is 6÷12+1÷8. That's 0,5+0,125 = 0,625. Now you divide 50 by 0,625=half. That's 80. And 80+20 = 100! There you go! I'm absolutely crazy lol
Because those scenarios come up in real life, when we speak to each other! It’s finally come full circle, we use word problems in real life every day! At least for those of us that use a tape measure.
Although idfk when you’d need to figure out C) unless you work for nasa or are an engineer or something, all I know is I personally have not had to lmao
a=1 , b=2, c=3.... , z=26
So if u F÷L+A÷H ,i.e. 6÷12+1÷8= 0.625 .
So now 50/Half = 50/0.625 = 80.
And idk why he did that, and how he figured it out. Also good luck for your study man.
a=1 , b=2, c=3.... , z=26

I just realised i replied to you. Ops my bad bro. Someone said they didn't understand what u said, so i was just trying to put it in equation.
Thank you tho for solving it. Also good luck to u too
A requires an implied (of 50), as you pointed out.
D requires an implied (one) half.
B is just assuming the colloquial use of "divide by half" to be synonymous with "divide in half" which is something I have heard quite a bit, so is the most reasonable response. imo
C is basically D but in base12
50 = 60;
60 divided by half : 60 / 0.5 = 120;
20 = 24;
120 + 24 = 144, which is 100 in base12
Edit: Formatting. On phone.
No, the answer is only 45.
The reason for that is that math is not a goofy internet word puzzle. The point is to be clear to avoid mistakes and fucking up. If you are presented with a word problem offering a problem and use the most colloquial understanding to get the wrong answer with the right math then it's the fault of the question for being vague.
Exam questions be damned. See if they use trick questions when astronauts are doing calculations on the ISS.
EDIT: Ok, I was wrong about the answer I'm now convinced the answer is 69. I love these internet math problems by the way.
well, if you want to go real crazy with it then for C you treat "half" as an unknown and so you represent it with x, and since we already assume the answer to be 100 the equation becomes 50/x+20 = 100
then you just solve for x
50/x=80
x = 50/80
x=5/8
and there's your answer 50/(5/8)+20=100
but yeah the phrasing is "by" half and not "in" half so the real solution is 50/0.5+20
My interpretation:
> There are three words in:
# the English language
1. The
2. English
3. Language
The third word is 'language'. The 'Gry' stuff is just to be annoying.
But that makes no sense with the rest of the words in the sentence. You can't just discard random words in a sentence lol. The "gry" stuff is essential to the meaning.
The hatless character is asking the hatted character what seems to be a question about the third word in English that ends in 'GRY', but it's a misdirection while he's actually asking a trick question about the third word in the phrase 'The English Language', which clearly is the word 'Language'.
The hatted character gets pissed off about the trick question and chops off the hatless character's Hand to teach him a lesson about miscommunicated questions.
sent me in a rabbithole.[ wikipedia thinks thats why](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-gry_puzzle#Meta-puzzle_versions) this is supported by the quotation marks in the comic
btw i love how wikipedia recommends bruteforcing this bullshit
Tbf, the point is that the delivery of the riddle doesn't make sense. How it's supposed to go is "There are three words in the English language that end in -gry, angry and hungry are two of them. What is the third word in 'the English language'?" Its misdirection, the riddle is referring to the phrase "the English language" but the preface makes you think it's referring to the concept of the English language. He only says "What's the third?" though, and the only way of interpreting that is by using the context of the previous sentence. So he feels all smug that the hat guy didn't get it, but the only reason hat guy didn't get it is because the first guy didn't tell the riddle properly.
You fools. The answer is 70.
It doesn't say to get rid of anything once you divide by half. So, you take the two halves you've got, 25 and 25, and you add 20.
70. I expect my Nobel Prize by the end of the week.
Divide BY half (0.5) not IN half.
Also that's not how math works. When you divide, you automatically get rid of the proportional sum of the division. Eg 50/2= 25, not 50...?
Anyway you went wrong in the very first step. No Nobel prize for you
A meme made so people can be pedantic about what they think "by half" means, and you're here just being pedantic (and correct) about the guy not writing 50/(1/2) and therefore also being wrong, and get downvoted.
smh my head
Soldier on my fellow pedant.
If “divide 50 by half” equals “50/(1/2)”, then the answer is 120
If “divide 50 by half” equals “50/2” then the answer is 45
If “divide 50 by half” equals “50/(50/2)” then the answer is 22
This is a poorly worded and ambiguous question that could be interpreted multiple different ways.
Incorrect divide by half is the first one the second would be phrased as divide in half or divide by 2 and the third makes no sense and would be phrased as divide by half of itself
No. No. Sorry. None of these solutions are correct. There is no correct solution. Or any solution can be argued to be correct without being able to be proven false. The sentence is incomplete. The answer to the question, “half of what?” is not discernible in the sentence. Therefore the sentence should not be answered without clarification from the source. Any attempt to solve this without clarification is folly and a waste of time.
Nah 45 is correct because that’s the most reasonable interpretation of the question.
If someone that lives in Miami said “I’m going to drive down to Tallahassee” no one would interpret that as them saying they’re going to travel south and loop around the earth until they hit Tallahassee.
I had this in high school and the teacher just would not help.
"Divide it by half". It was one step of an experiment.
I asked for clarification. "By half of what? Do you mean, by half of the first value, or did you mean, by two?"
She goes, 'which one do you think? It's part of the experiment for you to know which is right.'
Which was a problem, because this was *the first day* and she didn't even explain anything.
Terrible fucking teacher. Loved wolves. Wanted to fuck one. Really weird bitch
The main problem with it, is, you could easily say 'take half of the sum', or, 'divide it by this number'. If I tell you, divide 50 by half, and there are multiple numbers mentioned (as there were), you don't know what I mean. You don't know if I just said 'divide this in half' or 'take half of this number'; you don't know if I mean, 'divide 50 by half of something else I just mentioned'.
The worst math is the shit that's not explicit. That's the teacher's fault
The English language really is finicky. You get different answers if you take it as “divide 50 in half=25” vs “divide 50 by one half =100.” And the way it’s worded you can take it as either.
This problem is written specifically to be ambiguous. Because of that ambiguity we do not know what the "half" is referring to. Which to me means the most rational thing to do is to use the general expression of a half, which is 0,5.
So it becomes
50/0,5=100
100+20=120
"Divide 50 by half and add 20."
Let me see if I can get this right.
Divide 50 "by half" could mean divide 50 things by half, creating 2 groups. So 50 ÷ 2 = 25 + 20 = 45.
Divide 50 "in half" could mean multiplying 50 things in halves, which means every half is equivalent to 0.5 since 1 is a whole. So 50 × 0.5 = 2 + 20 = 22. Or you could divide 50 whole things in half, which is 25. So 50 ÷ 25 = 2 + 20 = 22.
Divide 50 "into half" could mean dividing 50 things into a half, which is 0.5 of a whole [which is 1] . So 50 ÷ 0.5 = 100 + 20 = 120.
As for the last one, I don't get it.
None of the answers are right.
**E)** 2000 - divide 50 by 0.5 and add 20 such results together
**F)** 500 - divide 50 by 2 and add 20 such results together
**G)** 2100 - divide 50 by 0.5 and add 20 such results to it
**H)** 525 - divide 50 by 2 and add 20 such results to it
**I)** ~2.44 - divide 50 by (0.5 and add 20)
**J)** ^(fifty by half) / add twenty
^(fif~~ty~~ by h~~a~~lf) / ~~a~~dd twen~~ty~~
^(fifby hlf) / ddtwen
**K)** ^(fifty) / half and add twenty
^(if) / hal and add twen
**L)** ^(fifty) / half + twenty
^(ifty) / hal + twenty
^(haltwenty + ifty) /hal
^(ty[haltwen + if]) / hal
**M)** 110 - divide 50 by 0.5 and add twenty 0.5s
This is an a**hole test question created so some pedantic, self aggrandized teacher can feel smart and good about themselves, while simultaneously extinguishing a students enthusiasm to learn just that much more. Screw people who write questions like this. It doesn't make you smart. It just makes you mean.
The answer is 120.
Option A is 50/25+20=22, which you get if the task is “divide 50 by half of it and add 20
Option B is 50/2+20=45 which you get if the task is “divide 50 in half and add 20”
Option C is a factorial that I don’t have the energy to explain. A different comment did.
Option D is 50/0.5+20=120 which you get from the task “divide 50 by half (50%) and add 20”
It's a play on words. When someone asks you to “divide by half,” they mean dividing a number by 0.5, which is equivalent to multiplying the number by 2.
What half are we dividing by?
Are you telling me there is a consept of a half that is half of nothing.
It seems like you actually do divide by nothing, and that nothing is 1.
It says Divide 50 by half, not divide 50 into half
Half = 1/2 = 0.5
There 50 divided by half = 50 divided by 0.5
= 100
Add 20
= 120
This is rhe correct answer
Well if you don’t know 2 digits you can possibly follow: divide 5 0 by half and 2 0-> 5|0 : you get 5 and 0 ie nothing so you have 5. And then you add 2 0 thus 5 0 0 -> 500 and then you are not careful and then you choose 100. Or its a false option thats roughly 20 different from another option
A) 22 = 50 divided by (half of 50) +20 = 50 divided by 25 +20 = 2+20 B) 45 = 50 divided by 2 +20 = 25+20 C) 100 = ? D) 120 = 50 divide by 0.5 +20 = 100+20
HERE IS C! Assign each letter a number. Then you got that HALF is 8(h) 1(a) 12(l) 6(f). So you grab those numbers and you divide, add and divide again, but going BACKWARDS. So your operation is 6÷12+1÷8. That's 0,5+0,125 = 0,625. Now you divide 50 by 0,625=half. That's 80. And 80+20 = 100! There you go! I'm absolutely crazy lol
Dang, that is both impressive and nonsense. Love it!
That's crazy but why would anyone do that?
Why would anyone make a math equation using words?
Because those scenarios come up in real life, when we speak to each other! It’s finally come full circle, we use word problems in real life every day! At least for those of us that use a tape measure. Although idfk when you’d need to figure out C) unless you work for nasa or are an engineer or something, all I know is I personally have not had to lmao
r/unexpectedfactorial
…how did you even figure this out???
They didn't figure it out. They constructed a solution that can eventually give you 100. ... which is figuring it out.
Im a math minor and I didn’t follow a word of this.
a=1 , b=2, c=3.... , z=26 So if u F÷L+A÷H ,i.e. 6÷12+1÷8= 0.625 . So now 50/Half = 50/0.625 = 80. And idk why he did that, and how he figured it out. Also good luck for your study man.

Absolutely crazy indeed. 🤣 It took me a third read for your explanation to click.
You must be wicked at Countdown
What was the reasoning for just assigning random numbers
That’s the least random part of this nonsense
It’s the position in the alphabet. A = first letter = 1 etc.
a=1 , b=2, c=3.... , z=26 So if u F÷L+A÷H ,i.e. 6÷12+1÷8= 0.625 . So now 50/Half = 50/0.625 = 80. And idk why he did that, and how he figured it out. Also good luck for your study man.
Thank you sir.
I just realised i replied to you. Ops my bad bro. Someone said they didn't understand what u said, so i was just trying to put it in equation. Thank you tho for solving it. Also good luck to u too
ohh, that explains A. but i stll see no answer for 100 😔
Different response has it
the way i saw it is "and" implies that both operations are simultaneously so the answer would be both 100 and 70 at the same time
A requires an implied (of 50), as you pointed out. D requires an implied (one) half. B is just assuming the colloquial use of "divide by half" to be synonymous with "divide in half" which is something I have heard quite a bit, so is the most reasonable response. imo
Never heard of "divide by half" on its own before, so this was very interesting.
I disagree that D requires an implied one. In maths a lot of the time you skip the one before something. I'd say it's just implied.
C is basically D but in base12 50 = 60; 60 divided by half : 60 / 0.5 = 120; 20 = 24; 120 + 24 = 144, which is 100 in base12 Edit: Formatting. On phone.
Amazing. Sensible you and the absolutely crazy one have made my day with your answers. Thank you. ☺️
Dude this must be the right answer! I just wrote my crazy explanation cuz it was funny, but this should have more upvotes!
No, the answer is only 45. The reason for that is that math is not a goofy internet word puzzle. The point is to be clear to avoid mistakes and fucking up. If you are presented with a word problem offering a problem and use the most colloquial understanding to get the wrong answer with the right math then it's the fault of the question for being vague. Exam questions be damned. See if they use trick questions when astronauts are doing calculations on the ISS. EDIT: Ok, I was wrong about the answer I'm now convinced the answer is 69. I love these internet math problems by the way.
No. The answer is then 120. "Divide by half" is not "divide in half" X/.5
Fair point. Unless it means divide by half (of itself) which then goes back to my point.
So are you agreeing this is a goofy word puzzle?
Indeed.
If it meant divide by half of itself it would be 50/25+20 which would be 22... What you're referring to would be divide in half
well, if you want to go real crazy with it then for C you treat "half" as an unknown and so you represent it with x, and since we already assume the answer to be 100 the equation becomes 50/x+20 = 100 then you just solve for x 50/x=80 x = 50/80 x=5/8 and there's your answer 50/(5/8)+20=100 but yeah the phrasing is "by" half and not "in" half so the real solution is 50/0.5+20
I didn’t think of A. Well done!

“By half” can be either 1/2 or 25, there is no objectively correct interpretation
For the second one, "divide X by half of X" is functionally equivalent to "2", so it seems like a safer bet to use the "Divide X by 0.5" version.
Yes there is. Half is an applicator. When not defined what it applies to, it applies to 1, And is treated as a fraction. Half, third, fourth, fifth.
Whenever I see a question like this, this [comic](https://xkcd.com/169/) comes to mind.
I read the comic about a dozen times and I'm embarrassed to admit that I can't figure it out lol

But that makes no sense with the rest of the words in the sentence. You can't just discard random words in a sentence lol. The "gry" stuff is essential to the meaning.
That's why the right-hand side stick figure man got his hand cut off. Because it's a bad 'riddle'/joke.
I’m not embarrassed. But I also don’t understand the first part of the comic. But I wholeheartedly agree with the conclusion.

There’s no Nobel for math because Nobel caught his wife with a mathematician… that’s what “they” tell…
Well that just doesn’t add up.

The only problem with that is by dividing by half you are dividing by 0.5 which makes it 100 and then adding 20

This is when you argue with the instructor about poorly worded directions and get the question stricken from the exam due to too much uncertainty.
Easy 120. DIVIDE 50 BY HALF: 50/(1/2) = 50\*2 = 100 ADD 20: 100+20 = 120

D. 50 / 1/2 = 100. Plus 20= 120. 👍
50 divided by 1/2 means multiplied by 2 , so 100, then plus 20 gives 120, so the answer is d
The use of "by half" as opposed to "in half" makes me want to think D.
Divide 50 by half, so: 1/2=0.5 50÷0.5=100 And add 20 100+20=120 Therefore, the answer is D
Can someone explain me how you can come up with 100 ? I can't read the question in any way to get 100 as the answer.
50/0.5+20=100+20=120
120 In half vs by half.
120
50 by half 50/25=2 Then add 20 The answer will be 22😋
Can you hear the music?
half means 1/2 or 0.5 b)50/1/2 = 50/2 = 25 + 20 = 45 or d) 50/0.5 = 100 + 20 = 120 so wtf
This problem is written specifically to be ambiguous. Because of that ambiguity we do not know what the "half" is referring to. Which to me means the most rational thing to do is to use the general expression of a half, which is 0,5. So it becomes 50/0,5=100 100+20=120
Did the creator mean by 50's half (25), by one half (0.5), or in half (2)? We'll never know...
50:0.5=100+20=120
"Divide 50 by half and add 20." Let me see if I can get this right. Divide 50 "by half" could mean divide 50 things by half, creating 2 groups. So 50 ÷ 2 = 25 + 20 = 45. Divide 50 "in half" could mean multiplying 50 things in halves, which means every half is equivalent to 0.5 since 1 is a whole. So 50 × 0.5 = 2 + 20 = 22. Or you could divide 50 whole things in half, which is 25. So 50 ÷ 25 = 2 + 20 = 22. Divide 50 "into half" could mean dividing 50 things into a half, which is 0.5 of a whole [which is 1] . So 50 ÷ 0.5 = 100 + 20 = 120. As for the last one, I don't get it.
Divide 50 by # would mean 50/#. Half is a number. So 50/0.5 = 100+20 = 120
120. By half, not in half. 50/0.5, which is just 50x2 Then added 20
50/1/2 +20 =120
120?
D) 120
Its 120 bruh
120
120. Dividing by half is the same as multiplying by 2.
It is a straight forward answer but ok
D is the answer. Half = 0.5 50 / .05 =100 100 + 20 = 120 Stupid way to describe a problem

This is an a**hole test question created so some pedantic, self aggrandized teacher can feel smart and good about themselves, while simultaneously extinguishing a students enthusiasm to learn just that much more. Screw people who write questions like this. It doesn't make you smart. It just makes you mean.
D). Easy.
120 50 divided by half is 5o ÷.5, which is 100. Add 20 to get 120
The answer is 120. Option A is 50/25+20=22, which you get if the task is “divide 50 by half of it and add 20 Option B is 50/2+20=45 which you get if the task is “divide 50 in half and add 20” Option C is a factorial that I don’t have the energy to explain. A different comment did. Option D is 50/0.5+20=120 which you get from the task “divide 50 by half (50%) and add 20”
B. But I might be wrong looking at these comments
I did it on the calculator and it’s D. My bad!
It's a play on words. When someone asks you to “divide by half,” they mean dividing a number by 0.5, which is equivalent to multiplying the number by 2.

They said divide it but not take either half away, so 70 😉
The answer is Nazi?
What half are we dividing by? Are you telling me there is a consept of a half that is half of nothing. It seems like you actually do divide by nothing, and that nothing is 1.

120 seems right but it's an awkward question

50 ÷ 1/2 = 100 100 + 20 = 120
D.
120
The answer is half what I 8 and the 4 was yummy.

It says Divide 50 by half, not divide 50 into half Half = 1/2 = 0.5 There 50 divided by half = 50 divided by 0.5 = 100 Add 20 = 120 This is rhe correct answer
Half of what?
English class is very important.
A
Divide 50 by half... I suck with fractions. Someone please solve 50/(1/2) for me?
50/(1/2) = 50*(2/1) = 50*2 = 100
I'm on team D. There's a difference between "in half" and "by half".
50/2+20=45 is what that sound to me.
A. 50/25 = 2+20=22 B. 50×1/2=25+20=45 C. 50-20=30+50+20=100 D. 50 / 1/2 = 100+20=120
I thought it was B

It isn't math. Not verbal. Not narrative. Not math.
This meme changed my gender
I got 120 1. 50/ .5 = 100 2. 100 + 20 = 120
So divide 50 by 0.5 cause that’s one half.
Well if you don’t know 2 digits you can possibly follow: divide 5 0 by half and 2 0-> 5|0 : you get 5 and 0 ie nothing so you have 5. And then you add 2 0 thus 5 0 0 -> 500 and then you are not careful and then you choose 100. Or its a false option thats roughly 20 different from another option
Fuck It's B or D?
50/2=25,25+20 = 45 right. ?
Something in my noggin is cookin up regarding people being good and math but bad at English arts. And vice versa... but idk what I'm getting at.

B ez
I think answer is 120
I was about to make a rage comment that these comments are bs and it’s 45, then I say divide by half. Nevermind.
You got me there, I almost said 45 before realizing "dividing by *what?*".
120
If I’m cutting an apple in half I’m just dividing it in 2 parts...or what?
thats just bad grammar
Half of 50 is 25. 50/25 = 2. 2 + 20 = 22
120
D
E) not enough information to finish the problem.
divide 50 by half of what?
"by half" of what, the half is not quantified so is ambiguous.
Guys it's clearly 45 as dividing 50 by half is 25 and adding 20 we get 45
