Riddle
John bet Tom $100 that he can predict the score of the football game before it starts. Tom agrees but loses the bet. Why did Tom lose the bet?
Choose an answer
A.John had insider information about the players
B.John used a computer to simulate the outcome
C.John bribed the referee beforehand
D.John said the score would be 0-0 and he was right. "Before" any football game starts, the score is always 0-0.
Hint: It's a 21-word phrase with 79 letters, starting with "J".
Answer
John said the score would be 0-0 and he was right. "Before" any football game starts, the score is always 0-0.
Why this is the answer
John's prediction is trivially true since every game's score is 0-0 before it begins, a logic trick rather than real prediction.
