Battle of Wits
John and Mary were playing at Patball, an outdoor game of their own invention. In skill, there was nothing to choose between them.
They were playing to 21 points.
Mary had the sun in her face. "Look here, John," she said, "with the sun where it is now you're scoring about 3 points to my one, I ought to have a handicap."
"Okay," John said. "Or why not change over at half time? Say when I've scored ten points."
"Right," said Mary. She considered. "After all, John, you did win the toss. Let's change over when you've scored 12."
"A generous offer," said John. "I'll accept it, all the same?"
What should be the result of the game?
