Have a go.....it's a good one, thanks Jake
You see a
€97 jumper, but you haven’t any cash.
You borrow
€50 from your mum and €50 from your dad; now you have €100. You buy the
jumper and get €3 change. You then decide to give your mum €1, and €1 to your
dad and keep €1 for yourself. You now owe your mum and dad €49 each.
€49 +€49 = € 98
€98 plus the €1 you are keeping for yourself = €99
Where is the missing €1 ?

IMPOSSIBLE
the overall debt is €100 (€50 x 2)
jumper cost €97. you have €3 change
divide €97 by 2.Each parent gives €48.50 to buy the jumper.
Using the €3 change you give each parent €1 back. Mam = (€48.50 + €1)=€49.50.
Dad (€48.50 + €1) = €49.50
you have €1 change left over. Divide remaining euro between parents = €0.50 cent each.
€48.50 + €1 + €0.50c = €50 Each parent.
