t-comp-kierz Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Someone told me this earlier an I couldn't figure out, anyone able to do it? You see a jacket that is £97 but you don't have any cash, so you borrow £50 from your mum and £50 from your dad= £100. You buy the jacket and your left with £3 change so you give £1 to your mum and £1 to your dad and keep £1 for yourself. You now owe your mum and dad £49 so £49+£49= £98 & your £1 makes £99 so where's the missing £1?
