Abstract: Abstract You are playing cards and you are about to bet on a card that it is an ace. Your neighbor, who could have seen the value of the card, whispers to you “Don’t do that! If this card is an ace, my uncle is the pope.” The card turns out to be an ace. Now you know that the pope is his uncle.
