Abstract
Player 1 writes down any two distinct numbers on separate slips of paper. Player 2 randomly chooses one of these slips of paper and looks at the number. Player 2 must decide whether the number in his hand is the larger of the two numbers. He can be right with probability one-half. It seems absurd that he can do better.
