Greed and stupidity go hand in hand I guess. That's evident from the SMS games you get to hear on BengaLuru FM stations these days. Be it 'Tick Tock Boing' (so much for creativity) or 'Swalpa Guess Maadi', it's clear to anyone endowed with a normal human brain that these are nothing but elaborate cons!
The game 'Swalpa Guess Maadi' takes the cake. The station plays a 1 sec audio clip containing the voice of a 'celebrity' and the listeners are supposed to guess the voice. The prize money increases by a 1000 bucks with every failed attempt. There are no clues mind you... the only way you will win is to keep guessing. The logical move for a player would be to wait.. for his/her chances (and also the prize money) increases with every elimination. But no, looks like there is no shortage of morons in this 'hi-tech' city. I have been hearing the same voice for over 2 weeks now and the radio station and telecom companies are getting richer by the hour.
It's true... greed destroys the ability to think logically.
