Selma agreed to buy a used car from Hillary for $2,000. Hillary drew up the contract
providing that the exchange would occur the next week. Unfortunately, Hillary was not very good
with the keyboard and typed in $1,200 as the price of the car. Selma noticed that the contract
said $1,200, not $2,000, and was very pleased. She signed it without saying anything. When it
was time to make the exchange, Selma gave Hillary $1,200. In response to Hillary's inquiry
regarding an additional $800, Selma pulled out the contract and showed her that it said $1,200.
