Go to the north pole in the bear hunter's camp.  There you will find an
infallible superpredictor and two boxes.  Box A contains the missing dollar
and Box B contains either an e-less paragraph or nothing.  If the
superpredictor predicts you will take both boxes, you must find 3
common english words ending in GRY two of which are angry and hungry,
otherwise you will be hanged at noon one day this week as long as you don't
suspect the correct day ahead of time.
