Lend me $10, but I want you to give me only half of it!.
Then you'll owe me $5, and I'll owe you $5 --
so we'll just call it even!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

The only catch I see is the person lending you the money getting to save five dollars!. Cause that person doesn't owe you $10, he's just lending it to you!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
A good word trick, but mathematically inaccurate!. If I give you $5 of the $10 you want to borrow, I'll owe you an additional $5, but you'll owe me $10!. You wanted to borrow $10, not $5, so you still owe the entire amount!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
If person 1 owes person 2 $10, and cuts it in half, why would person 2 owe $5 to person 1!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
