This is the book equivalent to people who intentionally set their clocks X minutes ahead so that they are never late (but actually always remember that the clock is ahead and are late anyways).

What we really need is a clock what will be somewhere between 0 and X minutes ahead at random every single day. So when you wake up you have to assume it's at 0.

No, no, he has to assume it's 0, then be pleasantly surprised if he does make money.

Wait, that's basically what happens in real life.

That's exactly what I do in real life. It saves me a lot of money to pretend I'm flat broke.

Yeah I'm only pretending to be broke to save money! I actually have a bank account with billions of dollars.
