    I guess the man and his friends were having a gamble :D

        Da vs. når? Is "da" used for things that happened in the past at the same time, or is there something more complicated to it? For instance, would it be correct to say "Jeg kom til festen da min mor sov"?

          Yes, da is used in the past tense. Note that it can also mean because.

          In the present/future tense, the sentence becomes: Manden vinder når kvinden ringer.

            That sound bit is just fun to play over and over.
