This was asked in an interview with Coa-Cola.

The interviewer has given me 100 marbles(50 white and 50 black) and two empty 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

This shocked the Emperor to his core as the place where that courter stayed was the most secured in the kingdom.
