He then says, 'Divide these 100 marbles into these 2 bowls. You can divide them any way you like as long as you use all the marbles. Then I will blindfold you and mix the bowls around. You then can choose one bowl and remove ONE marble. If the marble is WHITE you will live, but if the marble is BLACK... you will die.'

I desperately needed to go to the restroom. What two questions did I asked so I could figure with restroom was meant for whom ?

View Answer Discuss

The first question I asked was "Is this restroom for men?" while pointing at one of them. I just remembered the word he said. Then I asked "Am I a man?" Now I knew that the second response will mean yes only. Thus I could compare the second response with the first to find out if the restroom I pointed at was correct or not.

If he says the same word, then the restroom I pointed at must be for males only. If he said a different word, the restroom I pointed at will be wrong and for females.
