a man falls in love with a princess and wants to marry her. he asks the king for his permission and the king says that he will write marriage on one piece of paper and death on another and he will have to randomly pick one. the man agrees to this arrangement but then is informed by a court jester that the king actually wrote death on both pieces of paper. In the end the man is granted permission by the king to marry the princess....how did he accomplish this?
 
he chose one and instead of opening it he ate it. so it was destroyed. so now the only alternative to check what piece he picked was to open the other now the other paper he picked should be assumed to be marriage and the king had to get him married to the princess as he promised.
