WTF is going on here?!?!?!?
 

OK ....

You see a shirt you want to buy for $97, but you have no money.

So you go to your mother and borrow $50, and you go to your father and borrow $50.

Once you've purchased the shirt, you have $3 change, so you decide to give $1 back to your mother, $1 back to your father, and you keep $1.

So now you owe each of your parents $49 (49 x 2 = 98), plus the one dollar in your pocket ... equals $99.00

WHERE THE FUCK DID THE OTHER DOLLAR GO?!?!? :Oh crap

Never doubt the power of magic.

some say it went up the ass... i'm not sure

The parents share should have been $48.50 each ($97 divided by two), so that leaves a dollar for each parent, plus one for the math/logic scholar... :upsidedow

ADG

math never goes wrong

But you did not borrow $48.50 off them Sherlock ... you borrowed $50 each!

I don't know about how you do it, but in my neck of the woods, you pay back the FULL amount that you borrow ...

By your logic, if I want to buy a Bimmer for $60K, but I borrow $80K from the bank, I only have to pay back the $60K purchase price?!? Sign me up!! :thumbsup:1orglaugh

My theory is ... if you can find all the left socks that your washing machine has eaten over the years, you will find that dollar bill there too!!! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

it's not +1 it's -1 ..

you are very right... here is a tune to give you a special award...

:Hollering:Hollering:Hollering

$48.50 X 2 = $97 (price of shirt)

You take a full $50 from each parent = $100

$48.50 X 2 = $97

You give each parent back $1.00

$97 + $1 + $1 = $99.00

You keep $1.00

I LOVE BLACK FLAG / ROLLINS

:2 cents:

Give your parents REV SHARE instead of PPS :)))

This very nearly tipped me over the edge!

Their free trade script skimmed the dollar

and here are two dollars lost: price is 86, you borrow 30 from three friends, you buy, 4 usd left in the pocket, you give back 3x1 dollar, keep one. then you decide to give back all, you give back 29x3 = 87 and one your dollar is 88, where are the two dollars? :) :upsidedow
