Kevin and Wendell thought they were smart and sent this to me .. they didn’t think I would get it,, But I DO know the answer to this question, do you ??
You’ve been sentenced to death in an obscure foreign country which has a strange law. Before the sentence is carried out, two papers — one with “LIFE” written on it and one with “DEATH” written on it — are folded up and placed in a hat. You are permitted to pick out one of the papers (without looking), and if you choose the one with “LIFE” written on it, you are set free. Otherwise, the death sentence is carried out. On this occasion, a mean-spirited acquaintenance of yours, bent on your demise, has substituted the paper with “LIFE” written on it with another one with “DEATH” written on it. This person gleefully informs you of what he has done and that you are doomed to die. You are not permitted to speak to anyone about this misdeed, nor will you have a chance to switch the papers or the hat yourself in time. How will you avoid certain death?
Thanks for the answer! Now I know…..lol!
HAHA you got it Vicky!
Can I post the answer?? Can I?? Please???! Oh, what the heck, here it is:
Pick one and, without opening it to read it, eat it. The prison guards will have to find out what you picked by looking at the remaining paper. When they see “death”, they’ll assume that you picked “life”.
I don’t know!! I sure hope you post the answer otherwise this is going to bug me forever.
