This is similar to the way in which Hershel of Ostropol outsmarts one of
the goblins in the story by Eric Kimmel _Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins_
The game according to Hershel:
Shin = you give me a handful of gold.
Hay = you give me half your gold.
Gimel = you give me all your gold.
Nun = I don't give you anything.
Hag Sameach.
