A man has $500.00 to buy Christmas gifts for his entire family. He's allowed a hundred dollars for each of his five family members. If he spends a little more for one present he can offset it by spending that much less on another present. He goes to the mall and does all of his Christmas shopping there.

He spent this amount:

$112.17 on his wife.
$87.83 on his daughter.
$97.50 on his father.
$102.50 on his mother.

He still has to buy a gift for his son.

Here's the riddle:

Where the hell did I put my car keys?

    This was inspired by a riddle I tried to solve on YouTube that I went round and round with and couldn't figure out and then when I watched the solution at the end I realized why. They gave the wrong info in the setup and they didn't even know it. It couldn't be solved based on the info they gave at the beginning of the riddle.

    I did warn that it was impossible.
