The one in the middle is 50.

There are 49 of them smaller than 50, and another 49 of them that are larger than 50.

Each number smaller than 50 has a partner that's the same amount larger than 50, so

the average of that pair is 50, and the average of every pair is 50.

So the average of all 99 of them is 50.
