Naturally, the correct question is “What isPorgy & Bess?”

A musical about the South Pacific.

I mean, it’s in the title.

And, again, so is math.

Well, maybe not for Steve, anyway.

At least, not in this very specific moment.

Steve wagered $4,601.

And so did Robert.

But in the end, Steve walked away with $18,401 while Robert shook his head at $18,399.

That’s right, the math professor miscalculated and lost by two whole dollars.

Ironically, Won was afraid this very thing might happen.
