You are in a disreputable bar and decide to order a ten dollar drink. A particularly slinky character asks to make a bet over your drink. This is his proposal:

"I will place a flat peice of glass over the top of your drink (so it seals and nothing can go in or out while glass is in position) and proceed to drink your drink without moving or touching either glass or glass. I think a five dollar wager is about right."

Assuming there is not trickery involved, is this a bet you should take?

(In reply to easy to solve by Kimii)

yes you do pay 10 bucks for your drink, but if you do happen to win the bet, your net loss would only be 5 bucks. then again, if you lose the bet, youre down $15.
