A certain mathematician, his wife, and their teenage son all play a fair game of chess. One day when the son asked his father for 10 dollars for a Saturday night date, his father puffed his pipe for a moment and replied, "Let's do it this way. Today is Wednesday. You will play a game of chess tonight, tomorrow, and a third on Friday. If you win two games in a row, you get the money."
"Whom do I play first, you or mom?"
"You may have your choice," said the mathematician, his eyes twinkling.
The son knew that his father played a stronger game than his mother. To maximize his chance of winning two games in succession, should he play father-mother-father or mother-father-mother?

You are a prisoner sentenced to death. The Emperor offers you a chance to live by playing a simple game. He gives you 50 black marbles, 50 white marbles and 2 empty bowls. He then says, "Divide these 100 marbles into these 2 bowls. You can divide them any way you like as long as you use all the marbles. Then I will blindfold you and mix the bowls around. You then can choose one bowl and remove ONE marble. If the marble is WHITE you will live, but if the marble is BLACK... you will die."
How do you divide the marbles up so that you have the greatest probability of choosing a WHITE marble?
Place 1 white marble in one bowl, and place the rest of the marbles in the other bowl (49 whites, and 50 blacks).

How can a listed company raise more money?
(give two examples)
1. Equity Offerings (Selling More Ownership)
Follow-On Public Offering (FPO) / Secondary Offering: Issuing and selling new shares to the public, which dilutes existing shareholders.
Rights Issue: Offering existing shareholders the right to buy new shares at a discount, proportional to their current holdings. This is a faster, cheaper way to raise equity from current owners.
Private Placement (PIPE): Selling a large block of new shares directly to a select group of qualified institutional investors at a negotiated price.
2. Debt Offerings (Borrowing)
Corporate Bonds: Issuing debt securities to institutional and public investors, promising to pay periodic interest and repay the principal at maturity.
Convertible Bonds: Issuing bonds that can later be converted into a predetermined number of the company's shares. This is a hybrid of debt and equity.
Bank Loans / Credit Facilities: Taking on traditional loans from banks or syndicates of lenders.
