Two men meet each other and one says to the other "I bet you I can walk around you three times, and before I walk around you the third time you will move your feet off of that spot you're standing on. On top of that i will do it without hitting or touching you in any physical way."

The other man says "I bet you 20 bucks you can't." After saying this he stood still and was preparing for the man to circle around him.

He circled him once.

He circled him twice. At this point the man trying to stand still threw his arms up in disgust realizing that he lost.

What happened?

Why would anyone agree to such a bet without taking into account the time factor! Of course he will never circle the third time, that would make the bet complete, but with never circling the third time, the man standing there would have to move off that spot to do anything. Once again a ridiculous bet to agree to!
