Requiring me to perform an arbitrary action of your choice is unreasonable. Also, I have no guarantee that you actually /would/ tell me the required information if I sent you the rubles: there's no cause-and-effect chain here. (I note that it's impossible to word a promise in such a way that I could determine the information by sending you rubles; some action from you is required no matter what, and you could default, so it's completely impossible for me to perform the required actions by myself.) -- ais523
