How about when 1x + 1x + 1x = 1y, where x=1 and y=3????
These variants could be anything in which something is three times larger than the other.

Another possibility could be when you start with minus 1
Well done i liked it
Well done i liked it
that was kinda cheap!!! but nice
im glad you guys like it
wow so far everyone thats commented is from different countries
nice, though it may be more of math teaser than a trick.
actually i submited it in the logic section and they moved it to the trick section
That was a good one. I am going to pose it to my students and see if anyone figures it out.
wow, i never expected my teaser to be used as classroom material!
nice teaser i dont think outside the box much so my answer consisted of childish jokes like 1+1=window and other peices of nonsense
LOL Great teaser! ;)) =]]
tyvm for your comments
hahahaha i liked that its funny =D
That was clever, I didn't think of labels, I was trying to figure out if it was one of those tricks where you mess around with how toothpicks make shapes. Way off!
I thought, 1 and 1 and 1 only equals 1. Yet another prime example of nerfhead logic!
well i guesses 3 but I liked the authors answer better!
Ah! I did not get this. Great job! (I thought the answer was "never!")
bookworm, I also thought the answer was never (after all, it is a trick teaser). good, though, nonetheless!
it was really fun and when my teacher ms thomison asks it i will b ready
Awesome!!!!
...or 1 teaspoon + 1 tespoon + 1 teaspoon = 1 tablespoon. Or 1 pig + 1 pig + 1 pig = 1 story of the 3 little pigs.
Or one side + one side + one side equals ONE TRIANGLE.
im prolly not right, but isn't 1+1+-1=1?
or 1+1+1= 1 set of triplets
There's no real single answer here... It's not a trick at all.
im sad to see that you had to turn to the dark side hershey :cry

im so stupid....
I thought 1 Pastor, 1 Rabbi, and 1 Priest = 1 group I'd want to hide from
wow what a great teaser u r
missed that one
We're metric here !!!!!
We're metric here !!!!!
you could have said if the addition signs turned to multiplocation signs
I thought it was "in that sentence" ...yes, I know, I'm weird...
Weird...
lol
coolio
coolio
i thought it was one where you flipped it or something, i give up easily so i just looked
1dog+1cat+1mouse+1dog
The cat eats the mouse and then the dog chases the cat to Timbuktu.
The cat eats the mouse and then the dog chases the cat to Timbuktu.
star riddler, what the heck?
It would be hard for metric users
It would be hard for metric users
it would also work in modulus 1
oh at first i thought this was like the 1 that was when does 1+1=1 and the answer was when you turn the + into a x 1x1=1. lawl.
1 cheese + 1 mouse + 1 cat = 1 cat
I guess I'm with you, Starriddler.
so you say you put it in the logic series but they put it in the trick series ive heard that before
