(choose chapter or problem)

Boris and Marina are shopping for chocolate bars. Boris observes, If I add half my money to yours, it will be enough to buy two chocolate bars. Marina naively asks, If I add half my money to yours, how many can we buy? Boris replies, One chocolate bar. How much money did Boris have? (From Yuri Chernyak and Robert Rose, The Chicken from Minsk, Basic Books, 1995.)
