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 |
Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security. Read all about it here: http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/ Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated! |

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

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.  |

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.
