Riddle of the credits...

**Jae-** · 05-23-2009, 07:42 AM

So two unnamed FFR users were messing around with the credit transfer system. We will call these users UserX and UserY.

UserX sent UserY the same amount of credits that UserY had to begin with.

UserY then sent enough credits to double UserX's remaining balance.

UserX decided then to send UserY as many credits that UserY had left, which in turn left UserX with no credits and UserY with a total of 80,000 credits.

My question to you is how many credits did UserX and UserY have before their intriguing exchanges?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First correct answer gets the same amount of credits that UserY had to begin with.

Good luck!!

User X had 50,000.
User Y had 30,000.

Though, I'm pretty sure there's more than one answer to this? That or I'm dumb but w.e, sticking with this answer.
