Chapter 520

The more shameless Suan Wudao is now, the greater the backlash will be later. It's the same principle as a spring. Moreover, this is beneficial to him.

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang twice more, and she said with majesty, "My Da Qian is a land of etiquette. The Great Chu Chief can be shameless, but my Da Qian must have face!"

"Since Great Chu is not convinced, then let's continue!"

"My Da Qian will just accept the challenge!"

These words made the Great Chu mission feel as if they had eaten shit, but they couldn't argue a word.

Chu Ningyu looked at Suan Wudao with eagerness; if they lost even after being this shameless, then they would lose a lot of face today.

Suan Wudao also knew this, so he immediately took a deep breath.

"Lord Gao, listen carefully to my question!"

"Zhang San went to the market to buy things. He took 700 wen from his father and 700 wen from his mother. He walked around and bought a set of clothes for 1330 wen, and had 70 wen left!"

"Zhang San took these 70 wen, returned 20 wen to his father and 20 wen to his mother, and kept 30 wen for himself!"

"So Zhang San owes his father 680 wen and his mother 680 wen, which adds up to 1360 wen, and plus the 30 wen Zhang San has left, it is a total of 1390 wen!"

"So the question is, Zhang San borrowed a total of 1400 wen; where did the remaining 10 wen go?"

With these words, Suan Wudao's eyes revealed endless coldness.

The chicken-and-rabbit cage problem was easy to solve, but this question was not!

Back then, he had also spent a lot of effort to figure out where the 10 wen went!

For a time, the civil and military officials, along with the Zhao and Yan missions, all furrowed their brows, and they instinctively began to think.

Upon hearing the content of this question, a look of disdain appeared on Zhao Yuheng's face.

A simple math problem—what is difficult about this?

Just sort out the money, and you can figure out where the 10 wen went!

Immediately, Zhao Yuheng moved his fingers, muttering to himself, and began to continuously add the numbers, calculating where the 10 wen went.

But as time passed, Zhao Yuheng's face became uglier and uglier.

700 wen plus 700 wen is 1400 wen; buying clothes cost 1330 wen, which left 70 wen; returning 20 wen each left 30 wen!

Following this logic, Zhang San owed his father and mother 680 wen each, which adds up to 1360 wen, and plus the 30 wen in Zhang San's hands, that is only 1390 wen.

But logically speaking, adding it up like this should be 1400 wen!

What about the 10 wen?

Zhao Yuheng was confused and shocked, "Where did these 10 wen go?"

"Did I, this prince, calculate wrong?"

Zhao Yuheng was completely bewildered, his Dao heart shattered.

This question didn't look difficult at all, but why was it wrong when added up?

Could it be that these 10 wen... were secretly used by Zhang San?
