Default Mathematical finance question #2

Find the black scholes formula for the option paying D dollars if

min[S1(T),S2(T)] > K, and paying 0 otherwise, in the B-S continuous time model:

dSi(t)= Si(t)[Muidt + SigmaidWi(t)] where i=1,2, where W1 and W2 are two independent Brownian motions.

Mu is the return and Sigma is the volatility.

I would think so because this problem is very uninteresting.

I think I found it in Options Futures and other Derivative Securities by John C Hull. Does that mean I get a dounut?

I am not going to work this out for you, but if the white noise terms are not correlated this is really trivial. Just think of this like binomial tree problem except with four possible outcomes instead of two.
