I think that genius #1 had .50 cents and genius #2 had $9.50. The cost of the toy is 10.50. I think I’m right!

Assume the toy price is X :

G1 : X – $10
G2 : X – $1

They joined the fund : G1+G2=2X – $11 $11

So the price must be more than $11.
G1 has less than $1 and G2 less than $10.
Am I right? Did I win anything?
Nice one

Let’ try this:
Genius 1 had 9
Genius 2 had 0
Toy was 10
But why was genius 2 trying to buy something when he/she knew they no money?

The resulting answer is somewhat indeterminate. The toy could have cost anything from $10.00 to $10.99 with the first child having zero thru 99 cents and the other $9.00 thru $9.99.

Geniusbeauty one had one cent and the other one had 9$ and one cent and the toy cost 10$ and one cent.

ps. They are multiple solutions. Geniusbeauty one can have 1 to 99 cents. you can work out the rest.
