There is a woman on a plane. She sits next to a man. The man asks the woman if she wants to play a game of questions with him. The woman doesn’t want to play, but the man says to her, “If I can’t answer your question, I will give you 50 dollars. If you can’t answer my question, you will give me 5 dollars.” The man thinks that he cannot lose, and after some time the woman says “yes”.

The man asks first, “What is the distance(距离) between the earth and the nearest star?” With no word, the woman gives him 5 dollars. Then the woman asks, “What goes up a hill with 3 legs and comes back down the hill with 4 legs?” The man doesn’t know. He thinks for 5 hours. He uses his computer and calls his friends. He thinks and thinks, but in the end he doesn’t know and he gives the woman 50 dollars.

The woman takes the 50 dollars with no word, but the man wants to know why, so he asks, “What is the answer to your question?” With no word, the woman gives him 5 dollars.
