DAY 403

Fred says to Jack, "I'll bet you $1 that if you give me $2, I'll give you back $3." Should Jack take the bet?

Answer:

No ........... If Jack takes the bet, he gives Fred $2. Fred can then say, "You win. I lose the bet." He then gives Jack $1 - the amount of the bet - but keeps Jack's other dollar.
