Shiho sat in the office of Detective Shinichi.

"I met a man yesterday," she said. "He's trying to raise funds for Kids with Cancer by driving virtually non-stop around Australia. He says he did it last year; drove to all the Australian Capitals in two and a half weeks. He says that he wants to try and break that record this year, and that if he does, the Australian Government will give a $100,000 donation to the charity. The only problem is that he needs funds to pay for the car, petrol and food. He's asked me for an initial donation of $2,000. What should I do? Should I give it to him?"

Detective Shinichi paused for a moment. "You could give him the money," he said. "But I don't think it will help the charity."

Why?
