The king of all the lands meets a beautiful woman that he wishes to marry. Unfortunately this fine young lady refuses the kings offer. However, since he is the king, she is supposed to do as he wishes. The king, trying to appear to be fair, meets with his advisers and gives her a deal: he will write "YES" and "NO" on two pieces of paper. The papers will be put into a hat and she will choose one. If it says "YES" she will marry him and if it says "NO" she will not. Before the advisers gather around the king cheats and puts two pieces of paper that say "YES" into the hat. Fortunately the woman sees the king do this.
As the advisers gather around to see what the woman picks she comes up with a strategy to beat the king at his own game. How does the woman avoid marrying the king?

She picks a note from the hat. She then gets one of the advisers to read the note that is still in the hat.

She picks a note from the hat and immediately swallows it. She then picks up the other note, shows the king and his advisors that it was 'yes', which clearly meant that the one she choice had to have been 'no'.

She picks a piece of paper and instead of reading it she swollows it. Than she asks the advisors to picks the remaining one. Since the remaining one is got to b yes, everyone is gonna believe that she had picked the one with "No"

she picks a paper and dont open it then open the other paper and by default that paper that she picked has to be No cause the paper she opened is yes.
