A lady was at a carnival and went to the booth of the Amazing Psychic.
The Amazing Psychic told her, "If I can write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you must give me 20 but if I cannot I will give you 20."
The lady looked around the room. There were no scales or anything else that could be used to find her weight. She agrees to the bet - certain that the Amazing Psychic could never guess her weight exactly.
In the end the lady had to pay the Amazing Psychic. 20. How did he win the bet?

She didn't want to tell him that she weights more than he wrote ;)
ReplyDeletePlease tell me that he didn't literally write "your exact weight" on the paper.
