GETTING THEM FROM MY MEMORY BANK tongue

Re: Solve This Puzzle by annnikky(f): 4:26pm On Jun 08, 2016

Wat about this;

Three closed boxes have either white marbles, black
marbles or both, and they are labeled white, black and
both. However, all three boxes are mislabeled. You may
reach into one of the boxes and pull out only one marble.

Which box should you remove a marble from to determine
the contents of all three boxes?

Since we know all the boxes are mislabelled, the most logical thing is to first go for the box labelled BOTH ( because it will either contain all white or all black in the real sense). If I reach for the box and I get a black marble , it means that the box actually contains all black). The box labelled black will actually be all white or both and the one labelled white will actually be both or black but I already know that it cannot be black because I already know the box labelled black. So, the box labelled white actually contains both and the one labelled black actually contains white.

Similarly, if the first colour I got was white( the box labelled both is all white) then the box labelled white will actually be all black or both and the one labelled black will actually be all white or both but I know it cannot be all white cos I have found out where all white is. So, the box labelled black contains both and the one labelled white contains all black.

Succinctly put, here is the summary;
Step 1: Check the box labelled BOTH
Case 1: If you get a black marble then the box labelled BLACK contains all white and the one labelled WHITE contains both marbles

Case 2: If you get a white marble then the box labelled WHITE actually contains all black and the one labelled BLACK actually contains both marbles.

New one guyz

There is a table on which 20 coins are placed. You also
know that there are 10 coins with heads up, and 10 coins
with tails up. You are blind folded and there is no way to
determine which side is up by rubbing, etc.
Your task is to create two groups of coins, each having
the same number of heads and tails. You may only move
or flip coins. How can you accomplish this while being
blindfolded?
