Title: Magic?
Post by alien2 on Jan 27^th, 2014, 2:33pm

Eddie and Charlie are friends. They're watching David Copperfield's tv show at Eddie’s. After the show, Eddie goes to the kitchen and returns with a cup of milk. He puts the cup on the table, takes out a nickel from his pocket and says: "You will clearly see me drop the nickel in this cup. I will do nothing else. You can then do with the cup whatever you want. If you can't convince me that you found the nickel, you will lend me your car for one week." Charlie agrees and soon lends Eddie the car. What happened?

hmmm... Interesting.. I think there is some connection between two different metals i.e copper and nickel?? :)

Maybe David in bad faith just denies to be convinced that Eddie found the nickel.

Mayby [hide] the cup already contains a handfull of nickels.[/hide]

This is the intended answer.
