Truth or Consequences...
by Brad Quinn
Wisely, you decline Skinny's offer.
Not only have you had a lot of experience with Skinny's tricky wagers, you've had a lot of experience with true or false logic. And it occurs to you that Skinny might formulate a statement that would trap you into giving him an amount greater than $11.
For example, "You will neither give me exactly ten dollars nor exactly one million dollars."
And that kind of statement would have had disastrous effects on your finances.
