So I saw this post on facebook. And I was heavily criticized based on my answer.

Now the thing with this is people just look at numbers and immediately type in the answer as if it was very simple. Actually it is simple but people are missing the important part. Most people answered 1050 and my answer was 1040. I have a good reason for it.

Lets name barbarian A, archer B and pekka C.

A + A + A = 120. 3A = 120. A = 120/3. So A = 40.
Now B + A = 50. B + 40 = 50. B = 50 - 40. B = 10.
And last is C - B = 990. We know B = 10. And if we are subtracting B from C that means they both are together.
And their combined sum is 1000. Therefore C = 990. People are mistaking C = 1000 just because they think they are subtracting 10 kg.
But we are not just subtracting 10 kg but an archer which is of 10 kg. So A = 40, B = 10 and C = 990.
Therefore A + C + B = 1040.

After getting criticized even here I think I need to further explain my own answer.
I am using the image as the base for this logic puzzle. As you can see that it is pekka - archer.
Then pekka and archer needs to be together for the archer to be subtracted. If you get a pimple you can remove it but if the pimple does not exist you cannot remove it. And just like that I think that pekka and archer are together and then they were seperated. If you use just the numbers/variables your answer will be
1050 but then the illustration serves no purpose. My answer is according to the image and simple logic. Again pimple needs to exist on your face to be removed from your face.

Let me know what you think.
