Who says it's made for wheelchairs lol.

Also,

What do you mean we are going the wrong way!



I've been looking at this for a good 10 minutes and I know this is illogical but I just can't get my head around it

Guy #1 is $10 up, because he put $20 in the box, and was given $30 from selling the box.

Guy #2 however is $10 down, because:
Original $20 put in box: -20
Paid $30 to buy the box: -30
The box had $40 in it: +40
=-10

At first glance, you forget that $20 of the $40 in the box was put in by Guy #2, so the $40 isn't profit after all

Only the guy selling the box made any profit

Hmm but when I look at it

Guy 2 Puts in 20.. but he never loses it because he gets it back

So.. he paid 30 to get the other guys 20.. plus his own, meaning he only lost 30 to get the box, which had 40 in it?

I'm so confused

Nono, your calculation is wrong.

He puts in 20$ = -20
Pays 30$ = -30
Gets 40$ = +40

Then add all those up, and -10 is your answer.
He loses 10$ =P

My facebook decided to let me know what Michi and Corey is currently reading, though I dunno if I wanted to know what Michi was doing.

Lmao

Tbh it wouldn't work anyway. Why would someone want to buy a box with $20 for $30? The magnet ones are the best lol

...

About the dollars in the box: they both actually get 10 dollars profit.

Dude1 puts 20$ in: -20
Dude2 puts 20$ in: -20
Dude 2 buys it for 30$: Dude 1 +30, Dude 2 -30

Dude 1: 10$ profit
Dude 2: 10$ profit -> 20 dollars in the box are his, so he didnt loose the 20$. He bought for 30, got 40 back.
