It is said that Yale University Professor KO once took out a one-dollar bank note. Please ask for the price of this bank note, starting at 5 cents. The increase is in 5 cents, and the highest bidder gets this $1 bank note, but the bid "highest and second highest" must pay the auctioneer the amount of the bid, which means that the second highest person must pay and can be obtained.
This kind of unique dollar auction has invited everyone's interest. Many students started bidding. For convenience, I will only list the highest and second highest bids. Student A bids 5 cents Student B bids 10 cents Student A goes out to 15 cents Student B goes out to 20 cents...
When the two students reached 45 cents and 50 cents, they started to feel a little bit wrong. At this time, if no one gives a higher price, the professor will lose 50 cents. At this time, A wants to lose 45 cents if he does not bid, so he continues to bid 55 cents, I thought I might earn 45 cents.
Of course, B is not willing to lose, he has been 5 cents more than A. When A goes out to 95 cents and B goes out to 100 cents, B can't make any money, and A thinks if he doesn't bid. To lose 95 cents, you may lose only 5 cents if you continue to bid.
Then A continues to out to 105 cents... B continues to go to 110 cents... ......
The last dollar was auctioned for $20! At first the students just had the opportunity to pay a few hundred cents for the professor's dollar.
The most subtle design of this auction is that the second highest bidder also needs to pay the price he shouted, but in the end nothing can be obtained.
Many people just fall into the trap because they are in the trap. The baby's heart is bitter, but the baby doesn't say it. It will drag those who want to take advantage of it into this money game, and eventually lose both.
In fact, at first, students are feeling interesting and thinking that they can even make a small profit, but when the bids going higher, they actually feel that they are in trouble, but in order not to let themselves losing up, hence, continuing to bid, and finally, regret to participate in this auction.
In reality, why do people fall into the money game trap again and again? We believe this is likely due to GREED! In order to earn pocket money, the result is "winning the sugar, losing the whole factory."

I bought this stock in 2008/09 (GAB) for RM6.00, still faithfully keeping it. With almost 500% returns and 15% dividend yield, I keep calm and drink more :)
Govt mulls RM100,000 fine, 20 years' jail for drunk driving NATION Saturday, 15 Feb 2020
3:29 PM MYT BUTTERWORTH (Bernama): The government is studying the need for stiffer penalties for motorists found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, as well as for dangerous driving and causing death, with a fine of up to RM100,000, says Lim Guan Eng.
The Finance Minister said besides the fine, the jail sentence for the offender will be increased to 20 years from the current 10 years.
"The government is looking at amending the penalty under Section 41 (of the Road Transport Act 1987) for those who cause accidents leading to death due to driving in a drunken state,” he said.
Lim was speaking to reporters after visiting the family of Khairizul Mohamad Noor, 39, who died in an accident on Sunday involving a motorist who was believed to have been drunk.
He said currently, the penalty was a jail sentence of up to 10 years and fine of up to RM20,000, so the amendment to the law was necessary because of the high number of deaths from road crashes.
He said there were at least 7,000 recorded fatal road accidents each year and the rate of fatal road accidents in Malaysia was among the highest in the world. Earlier, Lim who is also Member of Parliament for Bagan, presented Khairizul's five children with a donation of RM5,000 at their family home in Jalan Hj Mohd Saad, near Bagan Jermal, here Saturday (Feb 15).
"The state government and agencies, including the Welfare Department, as well as the Bagan Parliamentary constituency office, have donated to this family, and I convey my condolences to them and hope their mother regains consciousness and recovers soon. We will continue to help this family,” he said.
In the 5am incident on Feb 9, Khairizul died at the scene while his wife, Zuriana Hasan, 36, was seriously injured and is currently in a coma at the Seberang Jaya Hospital.
