You have been given the death sentence. The night before your execution, you are brought two boxes:
One box contains 50 blue marbles, the other contains 50 red marbles.
All the marbles are the same size, weight, and shape. you are told that on the following day, the executionaer will be blindfolded and will put his hand into one of the boxes and remove a marble. IF THE MARBLE IS BLUE YOU WILL LIVE, IF THE MARBLE IS RED YOU WILL DIE.
You can arrange the marbles in the two boxes however you like, but you can't leave out any marbles and you can't leave either box empty. How can you arrange the marbles in the boxes so as to maximize your chances of surviving?
