GAAAAYYY

You see a shirt for £97, you can't afford it so you borrow £50 from your mum and £50 from your dad which equals £100. You buy the shirt and get £3 change so you give your dad £1 and your mum £1 back and you keep the other pound. So now you owe your mum £49 and dad £49, 49+49 =98 + your £1 =99. Where's the missing £1?

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

In my hand, now back to you. Now back to me! The £1 is now diamonds!

Prime numbers.

As in you always had the $100, but because you divided it a specific way the rounding isn't quite right.

You could have simply done a method of 100 - 1 / 2 which would have yielded no remainders and an equal share of $49.50 each. But I'm assuming because of the division method the numbers won't add up to one hundred.

This bit is designed to throw you off.

The tshirt cost £97. You're supposed to add 49+49 then take away the one pound you have left over. The tshirt was £97 after all..
