and i'm not gonna lie, i don't know the answer to it. heh heh.
Justin: If the length of the Loch Ness monster is 20 meters and hlaf it's own length, how long is it?
Aileen: Let's see. Twenty and half of twenty is thirty. So it's 30 meters long.
Justin: Aileen, I'm suprised at you. You've contradicted yourself. How can it have a length of 20 meters, and als a length of 30 meters?
Aileen: You're right. The only way the sentence makes sense is if the total length is the sum of 20 meters and half the length. It's simple enough now
Can you figure out how long the monster is? How did you get this answer?

40.
x = 20 + x/2
2x = 40 + x
x = 40

20 meters. Because it said "the length of the Loch Ness monster is 20 meters" Maybe it's a trick question. We just don't know.

Aileen: Let's see. Twenty and half of twenty is thirty. So it's 30 meters long.
That doesn't make sense...half of twenty is not thirty. Half of twenty is ten, added on to twenty would equal thirty.
Otherwise I don't know the answer, the riddle was poorly executed, sorry love.

Impossible! Its either 20meters because it states that the monster is that long OR N/A because nothing can be half its own length.
