Because you won't be able to figure this out. Get it right and you'll win a rep, or something.

 

Molly wanted to buy a new car. So she borrowed money from Kristen.

 

Molly bought her new car, with Kristen's money.

 

After a few years, Kristen wanted her money back. But Molly didn't have it.

 

Kristen was a gambler, so offered Molly this ultimatum:

 

2 pebbles would be placed in a bag, one white and one black. If Molly chose the white one, she would be free from her debt. If Molly chose the black one, she would become a slave of Kristen. If Molly refused to choose one, she would be hanged.

 

Molly and Kristen went to the outskirts of the town where there was a field filled with multi-colored pebbles.

 

Kristen picked up two pebbles, and it seemed there was one white and one black, but Kristen picked up two black marbles. Molly saw this however, but claiming that Kristen was cheating would be refusing to take a pebble, resulting in death.

 

What should Molly do?

 

There is one answer, but you can write it in a number of different ways.

What she would do is... Since the bag contains two black pebbles, she would reach in and pull one out. But, without showing Kristen the pebble upon drawing it from the bag, she would fumble the stone, letting it drop to the ground. And since the ground is full of multi-colored pebbles, it would become lost amongst the pebbles and such.

 

She would then say something like "Look in the back for whatever one is left." Kristen would look into the bag to see the black one left and it would be assumed that Molly drew the white pebble.

 

It's a very simple solution.

Pick up a white pebble in the field. Just a guess, that's probably wrong.

I don't know how the hell you got this, but you are right.

IDK. It's just simple. Simple logical thinking.

 

Because if you KNOW there's two black pebbles, you'd have to figure out a way to make it seem as if you drew a white pebble. If you don't let her see it and you drop it, leaving the second black pebble in the bag, there's no way she can accuse you of drawing a black pebble without first revealing she cheated and placed two black pebbles in the bag, which would have nullified the deal.
