10x = 100 +.1x

--> 9.9x = 100

--> x= 10.01010101...etc

So there is an answer, it's just not infinity. Yes the decimal can go on forever, but that still doesn't make the answer infinity. you can just say between 10.00 and 10.02

I think you did your math wrong.

10x = 1x + 100

-1x     -1x

9x   = 100

/9       /9

x     =   11.111....

Here's one, For example, consider a situation in which a father and son are driving down the road. The car collides with a tree and the father is killed. The boy is rushed to the nearest hospital where he is prepared for emergency surgery. On entering the surgery suite, the surgeon says, "I can't operate on this boy. He's my son."

i just found it, try to figure that one out lol

 

Riddle, not paradox. Answer is surgeon is mother.
