You can perform a popular trick by dropping a dollar bill (lengthwise) through the thumb and forefinger of a fellow student. Tell your fellow student to grab the dollar bill as fast as possible, and he or she can have the dollar if able to catch it. (The length of a dollar is 15.7 cm, and the average human reaction time is about 0.20 s. See Fig. 2.15.) Is this proposal a good deal? Justify your answer.
