Yes, she will succeed. The problem is based on the leading case of 'Carlill v. Carbolic Smoke Ball Co.' wherein the company offered by advertisement a reward of £100 to anyone who contacted influenza after using their smoke ball in the specified manner. Mrs. Carlill used the smoke ball in the specified manner, but was infected by influenza.
