[Riddle] What an idiot
Jimmy is a child who looks quite silly. Everyone thinks there is something wrong with his IQ. So, a neighbor did an experiment, throwing 10 yuan and 5 yuan on the ground, and Jimmy immediately picked up the 5 yuan note. More and more people learned about this, and many tried the same experiment, but the result was always that he picked up the smaller amount. An expert told Jimmy's mother, 'Your son is indeed an idiot!' She was heartbroken, but his father did not think so. Do you know why?

Because his father believed that letting others know that his son was an idiot, and having others do experiments like that, his son would have more and more money!
Pick this, pick this, those people will increase the amount of money to experiment, the more money Jimmy has, right?
The answer downstairs is perfect, but I also have another idea. If this kind of test is done with choices made by the majority, then the larger number will of course be chosen by more people, but repeated selection doesn't mean it can be given repeatedly, so directly giving up the large bills and choosing the small bills is also a wise move to avoid ending up empty-handed.
It's simple, he is pretending to be dumb. If he had picked the large denominations from the start, people would have known he was greedy and would have lost interest in the subsequent experiment. But by picking 5 yuan, more people would come to test how 'stupid' this 'fool' is. Five yuan, five yuan, five yuan, and the original 10 yuan— which one would you choose?
