A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."
The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.
In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50.
The question is: How did the man win the bet?

Okay so the boy never wrote down the number, so the man could guess and be right.

No see the carny was writing down the number of the boys Weight, but the Carny never wrote down a number, so what was it that the Carny wrote that the boy would admit to losing.
