i have read the pebble example 5 times now and i just don’t get it. if she drops it they see it fall and either see the color of the pebble and act according to what color she picked or repeat the process with fresh pebbles. never in that situation would someone just give her the other pebble and act as if she picket that one first. can someone explain this?
- fargus_dorsalby 5y agoThe “remaining pebble” refers to the one in the bag that she didn’t choose. The path is covered in pebbles of both colours so by dropping the chosen pebble, it means they can’t identify it. So they must look inside the not-chosen (remaining) bag, which will contain a black pebble. Therefore, as the merchant cannot expose his dishonesty, he must concede that the chosen one was white.
- jFriedensreich 5y agonot getting this persistently is really frightening. maybe a short term effect of a corona shot 2 days ago. i had difficulty finding some words yesterday which fortunately is much better allready.i will definitely not work on critical software for the next 2 days...
