A chain letter |
2008-04-10 |
|
From Lesley:
In the mail you receive a chain letter with a list of ten names on it. The instructions tell you to send $2 to the person named on the top of the list, cross his name out, and place your name on the bottom. YOu then have to send ten copies of this letter to friends with the same instructions. If no one breaks the chain how much money should you receive?
