I place $20 in a box.

So do you.

Now the box contains $40, and we both know it.

I sell the box to you for $30.

And we both walk away with a $10 profit.
How about I sell the box to you for $30.  Same deal right?  We both make $10 profit.  LOL

How about if we keep selling each other the box, back and forth, over and over and over? Pretty soon we'll BOTH BE MILLIONAIRES!!!!!!

I don't get it. If I pay $50 for a box containing $40, and you get paid $30 to put $20 in a box, how is that any different from me just giving you $10? Are people really stupid enough to not realise that? Oh, wait, I just got it. Smiley

This is commonly referred to as Schrödinger's Par-a-box. The formula below proves that the math is correct.
