Hector says to Cen, "I'll sell you my car for $47.83. It's actually worth a little more than that because I've changed the oil every 200,000 miles and it has 3 gallons of gas in the tank." Cen says, "I'll take it," and they sign a short agreement to that effect. Cen didn't know this, but Hector, still the joker, was kidding when he made the offer. There will be a contract if:
