I'm confused at the first hurdle
What if the money picks out 2 white beans at the start?
"If they are the same he puts a black bean back in the urn"
- jws 16y agoI think the sentence's grammar is awkward. That pile next to the monkey has both black and white beans in it.
- djhworld 16y agoAh I see, this is what confused me, there's no stipulation as to what beans are sitting next to him in a pile.
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoThe monkey randomly picks two beans from the urn, then puts one (from the pile) back. That is, if the monkey picks two white beans from the urn, he gets a black bean from a pile of beans next to him, and puts that black bean in the urn.
