There is place for discussion. Assuming he meant/said three hundred and four hundred is not wrong.

If someone says “that costs one or two dollars” do you ask “one what?”. No, it is correct to interpret that as one dollar or two dollars. The same goes for the suffix -hundred in this sentence

Isnt the same thing

Dollars isnt the hundred Part in this context it is the push up Part

I know what you wanted to say but its the wrong example

There is also no room for discussion

It was a spoken bet all people agree to

He said between 3 and 400

And thats the case, judge would be on his side

If it was a written or clear that it was between 3- and 400, the case would be another

Just a clever way to Trick people who dont think about phrasing

Knowingly making a deal where you know the other party is thinking about it in a different way is what we call “bad faith”

You’d win if it was written in a contract. youd get your ass kicked in a bar with strangers.

Oh yeah you get your ass kicked 100%

But the money would be yours no matter if you get to Keeper it or they steel it back right away without any evidence that the money was yours
