Why a "Double WOW!!!", it is because my plan is just a 10Mbps mio Home plans.

So during my off day, I call SingTel customer service and asked about the enquiry of the re-contract.

The staff explain to me all the information and also told me the before my call, there is also a customer re-contract the plan on the phone.

This is why I have straight away re-contract my plans on the phone once I confirm with the staff.

Logic Riddle

Question:

I borrow $500 from my mother and $500 from my father.
I buy a $970 leather shoes, so I have $30 left.
I give back my mother $10 and my father $10 so I have $10.
I still owe my parents $490 each, but $490 + $490 = $980.
I add on my $10 = $990.
Where did the other $10 go?

Answer:

You owed your parents $500 each and paid them each $10.
(Concentrate on this TEN dollars you paid them.)
(So you now owe them $490 each now…)

REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH YOU SPENT! 

($970 or $97,000: This is part that throws you off!)

The “other $10″ didn't go anywhere…

$970 (Shoes) + $10 (Return to mother) + $10 (Return to father) + $10 (Your leftover) = $1000!

You simply owe them $490 each.

MORAL OF THE STORY: 

“I've made my mind up, don't confuse me with the facts”

You're adding the money owed without taking into account the UNEVEN amount of the price of the shoes! 

Ignore how much you spent. 

Look at the amount owed only.
