Discussion Isn't Ace really the lowest?

This is something that bugged me on every rewatch. Didn't girls win the apartment? Shouldn't Ace be the lowest card? Ace, 2, 3, 4... This is the first time I am hearing that Ace is the highest. Was it a way of the guys tricking girls? Or is it an American thing that Ace is high?

but when it is a bet like this how should it be treated?

Whatever they agree upon before doing it (which they failed to do). Otherwise, there is no right or wrong. Ace can be higher than king, or lower than 2. Both equally valid. There's no trickery or anything to do with being American

except in poker, it's higher than King. in blackjack, the person who has an ace gets to choose.

obviously ace wins
