Think About It...

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.


Think about this and get back to me with your ideas, results, conclusions :)

    If im person A and you are person B we both place 20$ in a box..we are now both at -20$... I(person A) sell you(person B) the box containing $40 for $30..so you(person B) are at -20$ initially then -30$ to pay for the box so thats -50$ total and you(person B) only recieve $40 back from the box so you(person B) are out $10...I (person A) am at -$20 from the initial amount put into the box and then recieve $30 for the box so I gained $10............................basically person B is giving person A $10 in a very convoluted way...
