V. IS THIS AN ENFORCEABLE CONTRACT? (5 points each)

1. Mary Poppins mows her own yard to save money. Her neighbor Paul George hired a lawn service to mow his yard. One day Mary is looking out the window and sees Pauls lawn service drive up and begin to mow her yard, not Pauls. Mary thinks that is great and does not say anything to the lawn service while they mow the yard.

The following week, Mary gets a bill from the lawn service. She calls the owner and says that she does not have to pay because there was no contract by which she agreed to have her yard mowed. Is the lawn service entitled to payment by Mary? Why?

2. On February 1, 2020, Jimmy Fallon sent an email to Stephen Colbert offering to pay Stephen $10,000 if he wears a Speedo bathing suit on his show. Stephen replied to the email that he accepted. On February 14th, Stephen wore a Speedo bathing suit on his show. On February 15th, Stephen told Jimmy to send him the money but Jimmy refused claiming that an email cannot be a valid contract. Who is right? Why?
