Consider• an airplane that requires
15 people to enable it to fly; one pilot,
two copilots, four crew members and eight
passengers. For convenience of calcula-
tions draw this configuration on a paper
with the pilot at top centre and ending with
a row of eight passengers at the bottotn:
pilot
copilots
crew
passengers
0
00
0000
00000000
Now if " each day the pilot leaves the
airplane and each copilot becomes a pilot,
the crew members on his side of your
diagram become copilots and the four
related passengers, who are, now crew, go
out and sell two seats each, we now have
two airplaines with a total of sixteen new
passengers.
The money saving puzzle question is,
assuming each airplane keeps flying with a
full complement and each makes one flight
per day, how many new passengers will be
required on day twenty eight?
In other words, after four weeks of this
scheme operating in Southwestern Ont-
ario, what do you think your chances are of
getting your money back if you gamble
$2200. to become a passenger? -
In addition to the probable monetary
loss, the Criminal Code of Canada, Section ,.
189(1)(e), indicates that even agreeing to
become a passenger, whether or not the
nnoney is paid out, is a Criminal Offence
punishable by two years in jail.
Police investigations are now in progress
across Ontario and a large number of
charges have been laid against th'+ase
participating in this scheme.
Answer to Puzzle:
If you have figured correctly, you will
now be aware that after two weeks, 262,144
new passengers are required; after three
weeks, 33,554,432 new passengers are
required and after 28 days, 4,294,967,296
new players are needed to make the
scheme work. As you can see there is a
high probability that mang of theseflights
are doomed due to a shortage of passeng,
ers. If repeating players could keep the
scheme going, then on day 28,
$9,;448,928,051,200. would change hands!!
The Kincardine OPP are attempting to
help people realize that "this, and most
other easy money schemes, simply provide
large profits . to the original organizers at
the expense of later. participants.
Variations of this scheme have develop-
ed in some areas, which . are designed to
attract young people and are played for as
little as $100 each. The same logic applies,
regardless of the amount gambled. For
every person who realizes the promised
800 per cent profit, eight people must lose
100 per. cent of investment.
Please talk to your family and friends
and avoid being fast talked into a money
losing criminal activity.
