one guy pays 20 + 30 dollar, receives box with 40 dollar => loss =10$
other guy puts in 20 dollar and receives 30 dollar => win = 10$

conclusion, first guy is trolling hard.....

it doesn't, it's a trick so the person who sold the box ends up with more money than the person who bought it

for easy explaining
person a = person selling box
person b = person buying box

so person a and person b both initially lose 20 dollars to the box
person b then gives person a 30 dollars
now person a has + 10 dollars (he lost 20 to the box, and gained 30 from selling it)
HOWEVER
person b has -50 dollars (he lost 20 to the box, and lost 30 from buying the box)
now person b gains 40 dollars from buying the box, and is left with a total of -10 dollars

the guy who buy the boxe loose 10$ because he buy the boxe 30$ when there is 40$ in it but he used 50$ in the story...
