Alegis Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 You (yes you, the one picking your nose) meet up with a robust russian guy with a big moustache at a café. He signals to you to come closer. He wants to play a game with you. In a moment he'll flip a coin and you get to pick which side faces up after landing. Winner takes all the cash. The wager ? You have to place 100$ (or 100€), his amount is debtable. How much $ or € should the Russian guy wager before you're willing to play the game ?
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Are you a robust russian guy with a big mustache who just happens to be an incompetent conman looking for help, or is this supposed to be some kind of puzzle?
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 What happens if I ask him to wager the coin?
Emperor Devon Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 His life savings. His house. His possessions. His rights. His freedom. His brain. I want it all.
Hallucination Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 I'd want him to bet $150, because if I wanted what Devon wanted he wouldn't gamble with me. @Rhett: If he was willing to gamble his mustache you know he couldn't be trusted. Who would risk losing a big mustache?
The Doctor Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 I'd ask for at least $/€200, but even then I'd be too much of a chicken **** to take the bet:D
Sabretooth Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 First I'd check the coin to see if it's a trick coin. But in any case, I don't really get the point. Is this a puzzle, a trick question or plain stupidity?
Hallucination Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 ^Its tempting to say plain stupidity, but it was started by a mod. Maybe its a test to see who deserves a promotion:xp:.
RevanA4 Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 wtf is up with alto lately mindless spam all over and this is all this thread is
The Doctor Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 ^It's Ahto. "To a dark place, this [forum] will take us."
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Well, either way, Alegis closed out what I thought was going to be a fun/crazy game over at battlefront, so maybe he's trying to make a point or something;) But if you're on the level <_<...>_>...I'd say that If I get to pick which side faces up "after" landing, then I probably wouldn't lose.
JediKnight707 Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 @Rhett: If he was willing to gamble his mustache you know he couldn't be trusted. Who would risk losing a big mustache? Forget a big mustache, how about just a plain old mustache?? I couldn't bear to lose those few hairs that I glued onto the top of my mouth
