Think You Are A Genius? Solve This:

[Sarthak]

So here is the question you need to solve:
  Suppose , you want to buy a T-shirt and you have no money with you (Don't say "I have BitcoinsBTC"!) .You       ask your father and mother for $50 each. They give you the money ( Kind parents ).
So In total you've got ($50+$50=$100).
 Now you buy a T-sirt worth $97!
Money left =($100-$97)=$3
Then with the remaining 3 dollars, you pay $1 to your Father and $1 to your mother and keep 1$ yourself!
Now, Money left to pay Father = Money left to pay Mother = $49
Adding both :
($49+$49)=98$
Adding the 1$ you had ($98+$1)=$99
Now, Where is the 1$ ?

You're not suppose to add your $ but subtract it. That's an old one already.

Genius! xD

The following represents the losses of each party as the problem (implicitly) relates them:

Code:

( (100 + 1) − (97 + 2) = 2 )  ⇒  ( 100 = 97 + 2 − 1 = 98 )

The following represents a more accurate portrayal thereof:

Code:

( 100 − (97 + 2) = 1 )  ⇒  ( 100 = 97 + 2 + 1 = 100 )

Genius Number 2! Congrats! 

[Sarthak]

Debits go in one column and credits in another. In the problem, a credit (the $1.00) was mixed with the debits (the $2.00).

Code:

$100 − ($97 + $2) = $1  ⇔  $100 ≔ credit ∧ ($97 ∧ $2 ≔ debit) ∧ $1 ≔ balance

Genius No 3!

In this problem, the “balance of the account” (i.e., “the [$1.00]”) is treated as if it were a credit thereto (i.e., it is effectively added to the principle of the loan [the only true credit to the account])—leaving the account unbalanced thereby.

Code:

∀𝑥 ( Account(𝑥) ∧ Credit-to($100.00, 𝑥) ∧ Debit-from($97.00, 𝑥) ∧ Debit-from($2.00, 𝑥) ∧ Balance-of($1.00, 𝑥) )  ⇒  ( $100.00 − ($97.00 + $2.00) = $1.00 )

Boy, an old problem in different words.
Don't expect that only geniuses can solve this one.

My question to ya:
A clerk in the butcher shop is 3' 13'' tall. He has a pet cat. He is wearing ordinary clothes. What does he weigh?

Ca. 72 kg.

Wrong. Nowhere near.

He's 3' 13" tall (4' 1"). At 72 kg, that would make him a morbidly obese dwarf, and therefore unable to wear ordinary clothes.

Obese or not, as a clerk in a butcher shop, he weighs meat.

Right.

I am collecting questions right now (Obviously not these stupid ones). Planning to hold a competition. I think the giveaway section is the one where I should hold it?

The styling of the clothes could be so mundane as to render them “ordinary” besides. As well, he could serve in alternative capacities such that he does not “weigh[] meat.”

I think this would be fun. Did you go through with the idea?

A couple were locked in an unlocked closed. Upon being rescued, copper scouring pads and human feces, sometimes used to get high, were found. Question: Who's entitled to the Noble Prize for solving the Schrödinger's cat paradox?

Anthropic principle might mean it can never be solved.

Not even by observers outside this universe. Because they are part of THEIR universe and as such unable to comprehend ours. Nor could we observe and understand theirs.

[Laume]

Semi-serious at best 

I do find the whole idea of multiple, closed universes absolutely fascinating and thinking about them is loads of fun. And inspires many possible plots for potential sci-fi stories
