Re: Paradox of the wallet

Can we assume a finite range of amounts of money for each player? Otherwise I don't think this problem is solve-able.

Bingo. If you assume a random finite distribution from $1 to $x, your probability of winning depends on the number you picked and the it doesn't seem that the "paradox" will work.
If you assume a random number from 0 to infinity, your probability of winning is not 50% and the problem becomes weird.
