They still have a while to wait before getting on the plane so the lawyer asks the old man if he wants to play a game, certain that he was the more intelligent of the two.
"How about this, I ask you a question; if you answer correctly I'll give you $100, otherwise you give me $10. Then you get to ask me a question; if I can't answer correctly, I'll give you $100 but if I can, you give me $10"
The old man agrees to the terms, after all, the odds were in his favour; as the young lawyer had smugly pointed out. The lawyer confidently asks his first question, "Tell me, exactly how far away is the sun from Earth?"
After only a moment of thought the old man concedes that he doesn't know, so hands over $10. He asks his question, "What climbs up a hill on four legs but climbs down on only three legs?"
The lawyer's smirk disappears as he thinks hard about what the answer could be. After several minutes, he gives in and hands over $100. Frustrated that he had been outsmarted, the young lawyer simply ignores the chuckling old man next to him.
Some time later, they boarded the plane, and discovered that they were sitting next to each other.
His curiousity getting the better of him, the lawyer says to the old man, "I have to know. What climbs up a hill on four legs but climbs down on only three?" The old man grins and hands over $10, "I don't know."
