Susie puts an ad in the paper as follows: "$500 reward for the return of my calico cat." Johnny finds the cat and returns her to Susie, but Susie refuses to pay Johnny $500. What is the result if Johnny sues Susie for the money?
a. Because the ad was merely a solicitation of offers, there was no contract until Susie accepted Johnnies offer to find her cat, which she never did.
b. Johnny may not recover the money becasue he did not contact Susie before he began his search.
c. Because Johnny did not pay Susie to keep her offer open, Susie is free to revoke and need not pay Johnny anything.
d. The ad was an offer for a unilateral contract, which Johnny accepted by returning the cat. Susie is therefore bound to pay Johnny the $500.

I'm pretty sure it's A, I don't think Susie is bound to pay as for all we know, it may be someone else that placed the ad up with Susie's details.

D. And Johnny has published proof and can get a copy of the receipt and check which Susie got and wrote when she purchased the ad.
