Weekly Quiz #2
QUOTE
At one time, the Canadian and US dollars were discounted by 10 cents on each side of the border (i.e., a Canadian dollar was worth 90 US cents in the US, and a US dollar was worth 90 Canadian cents in Canada). A man walks into a bar on the US side of the border, orders 10 US cents worth of beer, pays with a US dollar and receives a Canadian dollar in change. He then walks across the border to Canada, orders 10 Canadian cents worth of beer, pays with a Canadian dollar and receives a US dollar in change. He continues this throughout the day, and ends up drunk with the original dollar in his pocket.
Who pays for the drinks?

If .90 CAN equals 1.00 US, and 1.00 US equals .90 CAN, then CAN = US.
The entire point is that the two countries don't matter.
So if he pays for .1 beer with, and gets a dollar back, he's really just simply getting his original dollar back. He's paying for the beer; they're just giving him his money back.

He's drunk, no one would pick him up unless the driver is drunk and is going form bar to bar like him. If he walks then he will walk into the road and get hit. If he catapults him self he'd go smush

Assuming the exchange rate is 1USD=.9CD and 1CD=.9USD, then the bars pay for it because they are the only parties losing anything.
HOWEVER
If the exchange rate is like the real life exchange rate, then only the Canadian bar is paying because it is giving out USD and bringing in CD due to 1USD=1.1558CD. (exchange rate from kitco.com)

Can I still give an answer now? I have an answer. This question took the valvictorian in my school 10 minutes to solve the problem.
I think it is the government that pays for his drinks. Assuming that money isn't lost in the transmission, we do get FREE money if we keep traveling. At the rate of 1.11% "interest" every time we go across the border once. So then ten dollars becomes 11.11 cents, and so on and so forth. So therefore, government basically pays for the drinks.

The price and countries are irrelevent. The question states "who pays for the beer?" He hands the person money, and therefore is paying for the beer.

If this was true, then didn't people misuse it for their greediness? I mean after 25th time, you get pretty good money out of it.

I have the answer and the answer is accually pretty 'funny', becuase it is kind-of a screw-you to the people guessing. 
ADDITION:
O! today is Friday! This Weekly Problem is ending!
Answer: The man paid for all the drinks. But, you say, he ended up with the same amount of money that he started with! However, as he transported Canadian dollars into Canada and US dollars into the US, he performed "economic work" by moving the currency to a location where it was in greater demand (and thus valued higher). The earnings from this work were spent on the drinks.
No one said the right answer, except DeathHawk, who came close... So the next weekly problem will be worth 40 minerals...
Sorry for the screw-you, but, if you want to yell at me, PM me.
