Im not sure if I can keep posting Mind Trap, so here is a puzzle I wrote quickly which onvolves my love of playing cards and math.
Im sure everyone is heard of Aces High. This is a variation.
Grab a shuffeled deck of cards, and remove all red cards ( to make calculations easier)
You draw a card and place it face up on the table, I draw a card look at it place it face down or face up. The highest card wins.
Just to make things interesting I give you the chance to draw another card to replace you current one, at the cost of 1 point from the cards. for example if You replace a card with a Queen, it would be valued as a Jack.
If you replace a card, I can do the same, with the same penility.
If I do you can replace another card with 2 points penetilty, and this cycle can continue to all 26 cards are used.
If I dont replace a card, you can only replace 1 more time.
Who ever has the highest card wins..
--Betting--
It costs $2 to 'pay in' and get your card.
Each time you replace a card, it costs you $1.
You win $2 for ever point your card beats mine. eg Your card is Queen ( 12 points ), mine is a 4 ( 4 points ) you would win 8x2 = 16$
You lose $1 for ever point my card beats yours, to a maximum of $3
Do you take my bet? How do you play? How much do you win? What are your chances?
