So you want to be a millionaire: here's the catch..?
an old rich guy says that he will give you money between one dollar and a million dollars. However, you will only have a chance to get each amount. If you ask for one dollar, your chance will be 100% of getting it. If you ask for a million dollars, your chance will be 0% of getting it. if you ask for 500,000, your chance will be 50%. So what amount do you ask for?

This is relevant on a vegetarian and vegan board for what reason?
What does this have to do with food? ~-~
I would ask for $999,999.99. Even though the odds are against me, I would get the money because I'm lucky. Then I'd pickpocket the guy and get my penny.
if that guy im asking is mark cuban ( Dallas mavericks owner) id ask for a million.....chances are if u have a good reason he'll give it to you. hes freakin crazy have u heard of people just sending him letters of reasons of why they need money and he actually sends it to them. theres a 50% chance, either yes or no.
I am a rational person, so I would pick 500,000.
It has the highest expected value (250,000)
50% * 500,000 + 50% * 0 = 250,000
100% * 1 + 0 % * 0 = 1
75% *250,000 + 25% * 0 = 187,500
Since this is in the food section.
I would ask him for dinner and ask if he was willing to pay for dinner. He would say yes and I would cook him the most amazing dinner and dessert the works with the best wine and nothing left out. Then I would give him the bill for $999,990.00
He needs money for the cab ride home. ;)
