It isn't 10p, and you are right. However, most people's immediate intuition is that it is. That's the point.

Yeah but there's no guarantee that you're going to win, just a higher probability. Makes perfect sense to me.

It makes perfect sense that both people swap and in doing so both get a higher probability of winning in what looks to me to be a zero sum game?

Ok, thanks. I thought I was missing something.

How is it 10p? If the bottle cost $1.00 more than the cork, that would make the price of the bottle $1.10, and together they would cost $1.20.

I think the answer is 5p, making the bottle cost $1.05, and together they would cost $1.10.

By the way, if I am completely wrong about the answer, I'm definitely deleting this post.

Ha! I am a cretin.
