Darnell, a professor, entered into a contract with Felicity, a 22-year-old graduate student, for Felicity to proofread and correct the grammar in his new textbook. Felicity dropped off a contract at Darnell's office, but she made a mistake and accidentally wrote 15 cents an hour rather than 15 dollars an hour for her services, then signed the contract. Darnell noticed the error, signed the contract also, and now is trying to hold Felicity to the 15 cent amount. What would be the likely result and why if Felicity goes to court to get out of the agreement?
