You saw a shirt for £97. You didn't have the cash, so you borrowed £50 from your mom and £50 from your dad = £100. You bought the shirt and had £3 change. You gave your dad £1 and your mom £1 and kept the other £1 for yourself. Now you owe your mom £49 and your dad £49. 49+49 = 98 + your £1 = 99. Where is the missing £1?

Can anyone work this out cos this idiot can't

You borrow £50 from each parent, & have £3 change, you give £1 to

each parent which means you still owe them £49 each.. Yes? However, you

only rightfully owe them £48.50 each, as £48.50 x2=£97..But by owing

them both £49 instead of £48.50, you're giving both an extra 50p..

THERE'S YOUR EXTRA POUND :D I think this makes sense.. Lol

First off I would not have giving the little f--ker $50 and I would have kicked my wifes ass if she would have giving the little shit $50 to buy a $100 shirt. The little mother f--ker needs to move out and get a job with taste like. LOL and the worst part if it cost 100 in Europe the shit is like $200 here. LMAO What where we talking about that shit just pissed me off giving a kid $200.

I think I've got it:

YOUR MONEY

DEPTS

$0

$0

$100

$100

$3+$97 (worth of your t-shirt)

$100

$1+$97 (worth of your t-shirt)

$100-$2=$98

So in the end you have $98 (1$ money and $97 (the worth of your t-shirt)) and $98 depts.

-> no $ missing Smile

 49+49 = 98 + your £1 = 99. Where is the missing £1?

here is the mistake: you mustn't add your money and your depts

 Jonny is right! Drunkensniper you use the wrong equation to throw everyone off. In reality you can't figure the outcome that way. The equation must be worked as Jonny has it displayed!

You are confusing the t-shirt at 97 with the money owed at 98 - ts that simple

you have a T-shirt worth 97. you gave your parents 1 each, leaving you with one

97+(-50+1)+(-50+1)+1=0 

or

-100+97+(-50+1)+(-50+1)+1=-100

(or kids need to get a fricking job...lazy bastards!)
