The interviewer has given me 100 marbles(50 white and 50 black) and two empty boxes.
He then told me that he will leave the room and i need to place all the marbles in two boxes.
And When he come back, he will draw a marble from any of the two box and if the marble is white I will be hired.
Also
* No box can be empty.
* All 100 marbles must be placed in one of the two boxes.

You leave the rest of the passengers one by one to their destination and then come back home.
Thirty friends were on a hiking trip when they decided to enjoy the bonfire. They assembled for it and agreed to play a game. For that, they divided themselves into five teams with seven members each, forming five rows.
