So there are two guys who are competing to solve a labyrinth.

The first guy pays $20 to enter the labyrinth. The labyrinth is big and scary and he doesn't like it very much. It is dark.

The second guy opens his wallet to pay to enter the labyrinth. Before he walks in, someone says "we're piloting this new program to make it easier on labyrinth solvers". They only charge him $18, and then hand him a candle...

I feel like the first guy, sometimes.
