@bhavana- what if u choose bowl full of black marbles when u r blindfold ?? in that case u will surely die... According to me, i will place all white marbles in top layer of both bowls and all black marbles at below layer in both bowl. so that when i am blindfold whichever the bowl i will choose i will pickup white marble only, since it is on top layer of both the bowl.
