Final answer:
The bet that Bono makes with Troy is not described in the provided excerpts. Additional context from the text is required to accurately answer the question about their bet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The bet that Bono makes with Troy is not made explicit in the selections provided. Instead, there is a foreword by Bono where he speaks about being part of the first generation that can address global issues such as bad trade, bad debt, and bad luck.
Also, there is a separate quote where Bono admits he does not fully understand the meaning of certain beautiful lines, which seems unrelated to any bet with someone named Troy.
Given the context provided, it appears that you may be referring to a bet within a specific text or narrative which is not included in your question. Without additional context or reference to the specific text in which Bono and Troy are characters involved in a bet, it's not possible to provide an accurate account of the bet in question.
When seeking detailed answers to questions about literature or specific texts, it's essential to ensure that the context of the question is clear and that excerpts provided are relevant to the question being asked. This allows for a well-informed and accurate response.
