Victory with a Hint of Lime

I have a roommate who is very bright, but not a fast learner. Whenever we have a conflict or squabble over trivial questions, we resolve the problem by betting a soda on it, then determining the answer.

The latest dispute was the most brilliant. The problem arose when my roommate was telling some friends and me a story about how his aunt said he looked like Prince William. I immediately retorted that he more closely resembled Prince Harry. A furious debate ensued, in which we determined the only way to settle it was over a soda - not just any soda mind you, it had to be a 20 oz. Coca Cola with Lime.

Later in the library, my roommate pulled up some pictures of the two royal Brits on his laptop. With two similarly posed pictures juxtaposed, we determined that we'd ask random studious library goers which of the two princes he looked like, best out of seven.

We got some weird looks, but in the end, it was unanimous. My roommate could be the stunt double for Prince Harry. Victory never tasted so good.
