d5357 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.' Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.' Chuck said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him? Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said 'You can't raffle off a dead donkey!' Chuck said, 'Sure I can Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.' A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?' Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00.' The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars.' Chuck now works for Goldman Sachs.

RePete Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 don't quite get it. The guy raffled the donkey for $2/ticket, sold 500 tickets = $1000. The guy that won was told that the donkey was dead and he was given back his $2. Profit = $1000 - $100 for the donkey = $900. $900 - $2 for the winning ticket = $898. Simple.
