Abstract
Since coming to the attention of the general news media several
years ago, the paradoxical combination of two losing games into a
winning game by J. M. R. Parrondo has been the subject of
numerous numerical investigations and simulations. This note
provides a clear statement of the nature of the paradox together
with a straightforward analysis and resolution that is accessible
to a wide audience.
