Use a calculator?
caus the 19 was already a minus and the 1 is actually (-1)
so it all makes -19-(-1) =20 there sorted

This is one of those things where you move the signs and stuff, isn't it?
You probably end up with something along the lines of "09=11-2"
I'm just too smart for my own good....

19 in roman numerals is XIX
make that out of matches and take away one match

which is 20 in roman numerals

Here's a riddle I've probably already told you (it's the only decent one I know):
Three men go and stay in a hotel (don't ask why) and are told by the receptionist that the room would cost £30. Each man pays £10 and goes upstairs. However, the receptionist realises the room should have only been £25, and sends the porter upstairs with the erroneous £5. THe porter realises that £5 doesn't go three ways, so he gives each man a £1 each and pockets the £2 left over.
So, if each man ends up paying £9 each (£10 originally, plus £1 in return) and the porter pockets £2, why does that only add up to £29? 3 x £9 = £27 + £2 = £29? You figure it out.

You forgot the £1 in return
