If I have 100 durians (which are really smelly btw), and you take away 15, how many do you have?

Please explain, I don't understand.

I did 100 - 85 = 15 durians, but when I entered that it didn't work :/ so can someone explain why?

Well, I do not know how many I have but you have 85.

I guess I have as many as I started out with.

If I take away 15 from you..... I have 15 PLUS whatever amount I had before I robbed YOU!

That is assuming I kept the ones I took from you .

But I didn't keep them. I gave them to the needy of Sherwood Forest because I am Robin Hood..

In disguise, obviously.
