[edit] Missing Dollar Paradox

This is something that people would forward in emails to friends who are deadly bored in their cubicles. It sounds scientific, but it's not, thus there is no hope for expansion. Renata3 19:36, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

• I'd keep and expand this. It's actually a notable lateral thinking problem, almost on par with today's featured article (the Monty Hall problem). -- Grev -- Talk 20:24, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Lateral thinking as an example (or delete - don't keep)- there are hundreds of these things around - they are not individually encyclopaedic. --Doc (?) 20:30, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand - this is an annoying puzzle that I've seen in far too many places. A good centralized explanation to people of how it works would be useful. Not sure that this is the best name for it, though.DS 13:37, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand -- like the Monty Hall problem which was recently a featured article of the day, this is a well-known "paradox" (falsely so-called) which can be used to elucidate related subjects. --FOo 15:51, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
