Let x be the weight of the Skeith. We have:

x = 100 + 0.5x <=> 0.5x = 100 <=> x = 200

Another way to look at the puzzle is: the skeith weighs 100 pounds plus half of his weight. Therefore, 100 pounds must be the other half of his weight. Then, his weight is 200 pounds.

Therefore, the Skeith weighs 200 pounds.
