Here is the missing dollar riddle:

"You saw a shirt for $97. You did not have any cash, so you borrowed 50 dollars from your dad and 50 dollars from your mom, making it a total of a hundred dollars. You bought the shirt and received a 3 dollar change. You gave your mom a dollar and you also gave your dad a dollar and kept the third one for yourself. Now you owe each of your parents $49, which means you owe them a total of $98. However, you have one dollar, making the total $99. Where is the missing dollar?"

There are no cars on a two dollar bill. You have a novelty item.

fermi paradox is very confusing. We can not explain that Paradox.
