MONEY PROBLEM

1. You put $10 of your money in an envelope.
2. I put $10 of my money in the same envelope.
3. I sell you the envelope for $15.

Therefore, we both make a $5 profit!
Repeat for infinite money.

QUESTIONS:
a. Will this actually work? (yes/no)
b. Why or why not?

Answer 1

Must be Troll Physics.

Answer 2

@ParthKohli Economics, you mean. :-p

Answer 3

Troll Physics has those infinite money stuff, but it actually isn't true.

Answer 4

How do I make a $5 profit?
First, I put 10 dollars in that envelope, then I give 15 dollars to you.
I have a 25 dollar loss, isn't it?

Answer 5

Oh, but you put those 10 dollars too.

Answer 6

So you give me 10 dollars and I give you 15 dollars.

Answer 7

That is not fair! :-P

Answer 8

So, this doesn't work as it's only you who makes a $5 profit(I make a 5 dollar loss).

Answer 9

@ParthKohli Yup, you got it. :)

Answer 10

Heh ☺
