[Enjin Archive] Solve this riddle.
Started by [E] Jared

If I had a dollar for every dollar I didn't have, how many dollars would I have?
Well if you start off at $0 then you get 1 dollar for not having any. After the $1 received, its impossible to say how much dollars you would get afterwards.
Since there is around $65,000,000,000,000 in the world, count the money you have and subtract it from 65,000,000,000,000. The result is the amount of money you DON'T have.

Solved.
Depends on the total number of dollars...

there are approximately $908.6 billion dollars of hard currency in circulation

http://money.howstuffworks.com/how-much-money-is-in-the-world.htm

and im assuming you have less than 10k to your name so let say, 5k (and im sure thats an exaggeration)

so you do not possess roughly 908.6 billion dollars of itl...

so its safe to say that if you had a dollar for every dollar you didnt have, youd have $908.6B +5k, and then youd have all of it

however if you mean, you have a dollar for every dollar you didnt have in a factual sense and not a "what if"... then if $908.6B is in circulation you would hav exactly half of that... bringing me to ask you...

can i have a dollar? <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>
Le sigh, this isnt a riddle.

This is a troll.

This is not a riddle or a troll. It is called a paradox, like "The next sentence is false. The previous is true." that is a paradox.
It's not a paradox. Paradoxes have no end. Nottsweets solution and my solution both had ends, so obviously this isn't a paradox.

You're gonna have to do better than that Jared <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f600.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":d">:d</object>
You would have all the dollars, right? You say 'for every dollar I dont have' which doesnt say you cannot add what you actually have, to the dollars you would be given. If you had 2/5 the dollars, youd be given the remaining 3/5 dollars... So overall, you'd have 5/5 the dollars, or the 'whole'.

Just Because Your Solutions Have Ends, Doesn't Mean This Isn't A Paradox, As You Two Could Quite Easily Be Wrong.

The Only Answer That Would Make Sense Is:

Total Dollars In The World Divided By 2. (You Don't Have 1/2 The Dollars And For That You Have The Other 1/2).
