One day, a criminal was visited by the king on the day of his execution. In the middle of the public square, the king offered the criminal a chance for freedom. He presented two boxes to the criminal, and told the criminal that one box held a pearl, and the other held a black marble. He told the criminal that if he could choose the pearl, he could go free. But the criminal knew that the king was an evil man, and that both boxes contained black marbles. What can the criminal do to gain freedom?
Switch a black marble with a pearl he kept in his pocket of course! Just kidding..
Actually I don't know..
-edit- Well actually, I think the king would have keep his word that there being a pearl there. When he chose a black pearl, he demanded to look at the other box, the king would refuse. The criminal quickly opened the box and there being another black pearl, the crowd finds out the king was lying when he said there was a pearl in one of the boxes. The criminal gets released. o_O well I dunno..
Please point out any spelling or grammatical errors I may have missed in my post, thanks.
He could say....
"In this box is the pearl, so obviously, the black marbles will be in the other box...."
And take off the box from the other marbles, which will lead to everyone assuming the pearls are under the first untouched box.

can we get a reason for this? i figure it has something to do with the 1st letter of numbers, or something like that... but i'm curious as to what it is.
