You both put in 20 bucks.
So, there's 40 bucks in the box. If you give person B 30 bucks for the box, you're getting 40 bucks for 30. Person B, however, only invested 20 bucks, so he's getting 30 for just 20. That's the idea behind it. I'm not willing to put more thought behind it, because I know there's a hitch somewhere in there, but the punchline against the punchline is that there's no profit made, since it's been their money from the start.

Yes, I just got to the same conclusion.
There's a "hidden" loss for the person paying for the box, but since people only focus on the box itself, they don't see it. Basically, this is a scam. EDIT: For clarification, TDK deleted his post. I'm not just talking to myself. This time.

Oh, wait. Hang on. Wait. Argh. Here we go. It's Troll Science, guys. The whole point is that it doesn't actually make sense. It's like suggesting that you get a self-moving car by dangling a magnet in front of the hood. |
