A lady decides she wants to start saving more money so she can buy a house. So, she decides to trick herself into saving by creating a challenge for herself. She bought a box of 100 envelopes and wrote the numbers 1-100 on separate envelopes. Twice a week, she drew two envelopes at random and put the corresponding amount of cash inside. (So, if she drew envelope 23, she put $23 inside). How much will she save? How long will it take her to fill all the envelopes?
