boodler May 24, 2007	or 1 and 1.0?
solarsistim321 May 24, 2007	Yeah I was thinking the same, boodler.
googoogjoob May 24, 2007	You could add a an exponent zero to each, making each equal 1.
sports_freak May 24, 2007	YAY GOT IT
spookboy0 May 25, 2007	It couldn't be boodler's answer because you didn't add anything to the 1. Anyway, loved it.
Hummingbird1 May 25, 2007	I got a math question right!!!
jamy400 May 26, 2007	I didn't get it at first but as soon as I saw the answer I got it!
breathesunshine May 26, 2007	I added a zero to the right of 1 and a zero to the left of 10, making them both 10.
chickenzRcool May 27, 2007	Yeah I got it! ;-) Great teaser ;-)

King_of_Smart Jul 16, 2007	That was WAAAAAAAAAAAYY too easy! Although, superb teaser.
spinnercat Jul 20, 2007	I think this should go as a trick rather than logic.
(user deleted) Aug 10, 2007	aw i missed that one, clever though
Fhempen Aug 19, 2007	oh...i thought u added a zero to the end of "1" and 10+0=10 so 1 became 10 and 10 is still 10. so my answer was "add zero". oh well ! great teaser!
Icecream-Queen Oct 20, 2007	Great teaser. instead I put the decimal in back of the one and in the middle of the ten. (1. and 1.0) But works either way!
mikster678 Feb 01, 2008	lol, great one dont

javaguru Mar 18, 2009	I like the teaser, but this isn't a logic problem.
