A Yes/No riddle.
The RULE: In order to solve it, you are allowed only to ask me yes/no questions. And I may answer only No, Yes and Run-time error (in case neither Yes nor No fit).
Here's the riddle:
A little girl and a little guy were walking and suddenly wanted some peach juice. The girl said: "I want two glasses of peach juice". The guy said he wanted one.
They go to a bar and the boy buys five glasses of peach juice, but takes only three glasses, leaving the other two on the counter.
He gives two glasses to the girl, as she asked, and takes one for himself (as he wanted).
QUESTION: What's the matter? Why did he do so?
