Am i right? Do i win?

Shouldn't this be in Idle Banter?

+1

that will be why then.....

you've added a page. You added 51 to 52, when 52 is the first page of that chapter. if you add 52 (the first page of the chapter) to 50 (number of remaining pages in the chapter) it comes to 102, not 103

459?

Wouldn't even want to attempt it - I have dyscalculia

I would say 409 too...there is no page zero...

I got 408. Each chapter is 51 pages long so chapter 9 must start 102 pages before the end. Right?

Wrong, it's 409

seconded,,

this is why in middle school I actually got the lowest maths challenge score in england because of questions like this...

In the real world you'd just open the book and have a look.

What a pointless question.
