u r blindfold , so how can u b so sure that u will be choosing bowl having one white marble ? u can choose other bowl also and in that case probability of picking white marble is 1/2.
where as in my case it doesnt matter which bowl i choose... i will be picking white marble only even if i am blindfold so in every case higher probability of wining life is there..
