Titan5: Holiday brain teaser
I think we have had enough serious discussions for this year. It's time for a break. For the holiday season I am posting the following brainteaser. You have three minutes to decide. Please answer yes or no only. Do not give any explanation so that other people can have fun answering it. After 5 postings you are free to post your explanation.
Happy Holidays!
Player A abd player B are playing toss-the-coin game. If it is head player A wins one dollar. If it is tail player A loses one dollar to player B. As we are watching this game I come out with another game so that I can play with you. After they play 20 games (bets) if player A net winning is exactly 5 dollars, I pay you $2000.00. If not (any other winning or loss), you pay me $10.00. Do you want to bet?

There is no chance that A could win $5 in a 20 game series. So no.
