Bill and Sam at the Casino 1999-04-23
From Rham Stewart:
Bill and Sam went off to bet at the casino. Each started with the same number of dollars. At the end of the first hour, Bill had won 20$ and sam had lost 20$. At the end of the second hour, BIll had lost two thirds of his money, and Sam had won the same amount that Bill had lost. At that point, sam had four times as much money as BIll. How much did each one start with?
