Abstract
A man hears that his young daughter always takes a nickel when an adult relative offers her a choice between a nickel and a dime. He explains to his daughter, “A dime is twice as valuable as a nickel, so you should always choose the dime”. In a rather exasperated tone, his daughter replies “Daddy, but then people will not offer me any money”.
