that's the one! You're playing "Head's and tales" with a mate, and discovers that his mate has been cheeting. Your mate choses heads almost every round, as his coin as heads on both sides. Once you've realised this you make a bet to win all your money back in one final bet, but you don't want to tell your mate you know he's cheating. So how can you win your money back, without him knowing you figured it out?

Let him win , flash him with the " men-in-black-thing-that-makes-you-forget-eveything" and then tell him that you had won the game IF not , I don't know , tough one, lol :

hmmm... a tricky one indeed. i agree with Redom though, I think betting that you'll lose the next flip would be a good idea.

Put the bet on tales, despite knowing both sides are heads. When the coin lands on the table, quickly put your hand on top of it and tell your friend "I would rather look on the other side of the coin to see what it's not" As you look at the coin in your hand it shows that the side that was down was heads, and so tales must have won it!
I'm givin Redom a point anyways though as his explaination was a good one, even if it wasn't what I was looking for!

An Arabian fairy tale has the sentence: " A blind begger had a brother, who died." Whoever the same story contain the sentence: "The man who died didn't have a brother". How can this be right?

"Last weekend I made a bet whilst camping with my friends. The bet was made whilst we were siting around the fire at midnight, and I said that there would be no sun one week from then." The person who made the bet is now just waitin to collect his winnings, but why is he so sure that he'll win?
