A contest is fixed. Everyone knows it, including the contestants. One of the contestants, however, makes it to final playoff level.
The master of ceremonies presents the following challenge: "This box contains two slips of paper. One slip has the word 'winner' printed on it, the other has the word 'loser.' Your task is to select the winning slip-without looking, of course."
The contestant knows that this challenge is fixed. He realizes that both slips have the word "loser." How can he select one slip and win the challenge? By the way, the contestant can't declare this contest is a fraud or he'd lose his current winnings.
