Ann has a choice of two babysitting payment options:
- She can accept a flat rate of $15 for a night's work, or:
- She can choose two of six sealed envelopes containing $1, $1, $5, $5, $10 and a $20 bill.
(For example, the second option could leave Ann with as little as $2 or as much as $30 for a night's work.)
Assuming that Ann will have to babysit for a very long period of time, which is the better payment option for her?

re: solution, different result by Hugo)
I agree with Hugo, with specific amounts giving the show totals:
1 + 2 = 2 1 + 3 = 6 1 + 4 = 6 1 + 5 = 11 1 + 6 = 21
2 + 3 = 6 2 + 4 = 6 2 + 5 = 11 2 + 6 = 21 3 + 4 = 10
3 + 5 = 15 3 + 6 = 25 4 + 5 = 15 4 + 6 = 25 5 + 6 = 30
