You are not posing the same question.

If 23,858 people move into a city yet 31,726 leave, by how many people is that city down on overall?

Is not the same as

Victoria went from +23 858 to -31 726.

The answer to the first question is 7868, to the second it is 55584.

And Stalin wouldn't have known whether to shoot someone or promote him when he asked how the Tatar expulsion went, to be told: 55584.

'Is that Tatar out or Russian in, comrade', as he cocks the hammer.

Nope. You're wrong! Seriously stupid AND wrong!

No I'm right. Stalin would have been happy to hear that the Crimean city was 7868 Tatars lighter.

Did you not just agree with Frank that the answer to the first question was 7868?

So you're saying Frank was wrong with his answer to the first question?

Is it:

a) 55,584

b) 7,868

c) Something else

Please tell us how you arrived at your answer.

(N+31726) + (N-31726) = N- 7868.

Ahh but that's not the question Frank. Methra has invented that question based on her inability to follow another topic I was in. Unfortunately the Meth taking cyber whore doesn't have the memory capacity to remember what the question was.

I'll send you the PM I sent through to a few other mathematicians on OzPol. BRB...

You mean this question Larry?

* Victoria went from +23 858 to -31 726

This time I'll try and see if a diagram of this helps you see the reality of these figures a lot more clearly.

On a maths x axis it would look like this:

<----------------------------------->
-31726 0 +23858

The absolute value is : 55584 •

It's pretty bloody awful news for a small economy like Victoria.

Now add this new development to the equation (you're all effectively muzzled and have the right to remain silent now).

Your state is in deeper shyte than ever before. It's not a matter of darkness...it's a matter of unbearable Hell!

It seems everyone else got a different answer to you.

The answer to the first question is 7868, to the second it is 55584.

Note : This topic was deliberately started by Methra to back pedal and distract from the original topic in which the issue was as per the highlighted information above.

Thank you Frank for confirming my question and answer. ✅

Frank worked out that the original question had been changed! The original question was mine and it was asked in another topic (and had to be reposted here) is shown in highlights.

Whatever your question was initially, it was not part of the OP - i.e. the first question put to us in this thread.

Frank's answer was spot on!

He answered Methra correctly :

Quote:

Is not the same as Victoria went from +23 858 to -31 726.

The answer to the first question is 7868, to the second it is 55584.

Frank exposed Methra for not asking the right question/changing the original question WHEN she started this topic in order to deflect attention from the other topic where MY question was being discussed. Frank then proceeded to show Methra that her question was not only incorrect ... it was irrelevant to the discussion irrespective of the answer.

So that makes Frank correct and Methra a moron.✅

Well, you did PM him with some back history and informed him of another question put to others on another thread / forum, so it was unlikely to be Frank's intuiting the answer to another question, as having another question exclusively put to him by you.

I sent the same PM to a few posters and all came back with Frank's reply. So I had a few laughs behind the scenes.

So you didn't post it here for all others to consider the answer to another question.

So Frank's answer to the question posted in the OP to this thread was correct.
