A Mathematical Problem Only A Genius Can Solve. by HenryQuest(m): 1:52pm On Sep 08, 2013
A friend of mine sent me this mathematical problem some weeks back but up till now, I have not been able to find a logical answer to it. I remembered that there are many ITK's (I too know) in Nairaland; that is why I decided to share it here. Give logical solutions to your answers. Prove that you are a genius!!! Thanks

Uploading photos is having issues. Give me some munites to type it. Thanks

Here it comes;

You want to buy a tshirt worth 100 dollars. Since you don't have any money to buy that Tshirt, you borrowed 50 dollars from your mom and another 50 dollars from your dad. You now have 100 dollars in hand... You bought the tshirt,and it is worth 97 dollars... You have the change of 3 dollars.
You gave 1 dollar to your mom
You gave 1 dollar to your dad.
Because of the 1 dollar each you have paid your parents, You still have a debt of 49 dollars each to them.
You still have 1 dollar in hand.

49+49=98

plus the 1 dollar in hand.

98+1= 99

the question is, where did the remaining 1 dollar go?
