A man buys a horse for $60.

THIS “super simple” maths puzzle has everyone scratching their heads – so can YOU solve it?

I came across a really good riddle earlier today, it took me a while to figure it out.

Now the question remains: Can you solve it?

Look at the picture below and take your time.

Here’s the riddle…

A man buys a horse for $60.
He sells the horse for $70.
He then buys the horse back for $80.
And sells the horse again for $90.

In the end, how much money did he make or lose?

Or did he break even?

A

B

C

ANSWER

The answer is $20.

The man makes $10 on each transaction, so he makes $20 in total, despite buying the horse back for $10 more than he sold it for.
