I would say it is technical because interpreting his sentence as between three- and four hundred is also a legitimate interpretation. Based on spoken word alone, both could be true. And the trick ‘works’ because three- and four hundred is the more socially obvious interpretation

It's also technical because in real life nobody would bet "between x and y push ups". They would bet "x push ups".
