That's not a riddle, it's a logic puzzle.

I wanted to buy a pair of boots that cost $97, but I had no money. I borrowed $50 from my ma, and $50 from my pa.

I bought them boots and got $3 change.

I gave a dollar back to my ma and said, "I owe you 49." I gave a dollar back to my pa and said, "I owe you 49." And I kept the last dollar.

But if 49 + 49 = 98, plus the dollar I have = 99, then where's the missing dollar?

It should be calculated like this.The money he owe=49+49=98.

The money he spent=97.

The money left=1.

Thus,97+1=98.

chesse_chames

so there are 2 missing dollars?

TheGrobe

Money borrowed = $100

Money paid back = $2

Total money owing = $98

~

Money spent = $97

Money in hand = $1

Total = $98

As long as you don't try to add money from both sides of the ledger together (as was done in the original statement) you won't come to an answer that doesn't make sense.

That is funny, you add two debts and a credit together. That is creative bookkeeping! To get at the allowable numbers you have to add debts together and credits together, but you should never mix those numbers.

In this situation should you distract the credit from the debts. So you can return one dollar more to one of your parents, or buy an ice cream.

No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink. 
Here's the question: Who owns the fish? 
The Brit lives in a red house 
The Swede keeps dogs as pets 
The Dane drinks tea 
The green house is on the left of the white house 
The green house owner drinks coffee 
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds 
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill 
The man living in the house right in the middle drinks milk 
The Norwegian lives in the first house 
The man who smokes Blend lives next door to the one who keeps cats. 
The man who keeps horses lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhill 
The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer 
The German smokes Prince 
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house 
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water 
With these 15 clues the problem is solvable.

Is the fish with the Norwegian,who drinks water,smokes Dunhill and lives in Yellow house?
