Solution to:
The Prince and the Pearls
There are three pearls that can be the white pearl that was taken from the chosen vase:
- The first pearl from the vase with two white pearls: in this case, the other pearl is also white.
- The second pearl from the vase with two white pearls: in this case, the other pearl is also white.
- The white pearl from the vase with one white and one black pearl: in this case, the other pearl is black.
The probability that the other pearl in the same vase is also white, is therefore 2/3.
