Good to know we are more convincing that 5 days of arguing with your friends.

haha if that were true why not do this repeatedly and keep gaining $10 each until you're a millionaire

False

You said you sold the box but didn't actually say you sold the money in the box.

OR you both get $5 instead of $10.

x-20 + y-20= (z+40)

x-20 (+30)= x+10

y-20 (-30)= y-50 (+40)= y-10

you gain 10, i lose 10 given that x=you, y=me, and z=the box and assuming the box contained $40

I just copied and pasted that in google, and came up with tons of forums with the answer... Maybe your friends googled it.

one gains 10, other loses 10. its simple math.

[ISO]

you put $20 in box and I put $20 in the box so now there is $40. We both know its in there. I sell the box to you for $30. We each gain $10. True or False?

i think its true.

False......still

I would have $30 for selling him the box and he would walk away with the box and $40.

i think its true.

Judging by the way youre asking, the buyer loses $50 and the seller makes $10.
