Gulp!
There is a club of 50 superstitious people. At their last meeting, 14 people got inducted, now for a total of 64. The leader proposed a toast to the new members. Assuming there is 500ml of their choice beverage in each glass, how much was drunk at the toast?
Hint
They are superstitious.Answer
25000ml. If you said 32000ml, you forgot, they are superstitious and it is supposedly bad luck to drink to your own toast.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

if they were that superstitious, would they have inducted 13 people to begin with?
uuuhhh.... I don't know....
100% origional!
This is a trick more than a math teaser isn't it Mog?... oh and also, if you said 315000 based on 63*500 then you have put on an extra '0' anyway, as the answer to that is 31500... Cheers
Mmm.. I got the answer but I thought that only the old members would toast them. The new members would not toast themselves. Did you know it's bad luck to be superstitious?
i didnt get it can someone please explain. probably the teaser is changed but answer remained same
