I place $20 in a box.

So do you.

Now the box contains $40, and we both know it.

I sell the box to you for $30.

And we both walk away with a $10 profit.

U Jelly?

Sell box for $30

$30/2 is $15.

I get back $15 dollars, even though I put $20 in the box.

$15 - $20 = - $5

No the other guy spent $50 because he put $20 in the box and then gave you $30. Spending $50 for $40 isn't a very good idea unless the box itself is worth $10

Two different brands.

On the left, smarties. On the right, M&M's.

Having had both, I prefer M&M's. They taste better and have more chocolate.

In America the little plastic rope for braiding is called gimp
In the netherlands it is called scooby-doo

I have no idea why, but it is confusing when a cousin asks you to scooby-doo with him. Of course playing with gimp rope doesn't sound much better
