Medals for everyone :)

Answer 12

Well, once the box is sold to me for $30, an additional $30 is in the system, since the $40 already present is in the box.

You place $20 in the box, so you have $-20.

I place $20 in the box, so I have $-20

You gain $30 from me paying, so you have $+10, while I lose $30, putting me at $-50

Then I gain $40 from the box, putting me at $-10

No, it's incorrect.
