you have been caught and taken to an island as prisoner, you have been told you are not allowed to talk to anyone or you will be killed on the spot, if you try and escape you will be killed... after days in your cell, a man comes and says

"we are giving you a chance to be set free, we are going to put 2 bits of paper in a box - 1 saying YES and 1 saying NO....if you chose YES you will be set free....however if you chose NO, you will be killed"

but.... before you go to chose you piece of paper, someone tells you that the 2 pieces of paper in the box say "NO" meaning no matter what you chose, you will be killed!!!!
how do you get out alive??

keep in mind you cant speak to anyone....or tamper with the box!!!
 
You pick one box and say 'let's see what the other box is". That way they will pull out a piece of paper saying NO meaning that the other one should be YES!

Or you pick out one piece of paper and tear it up so that noone can read it which will leave them no choice but to see what the other piece of paper says. It will say NO, so they will have to assume that the torn up piece says YES!
 
urm...well i dunno if this wud work wid dose ppl coz they seem vry vry vry mean...n deperate 2 kill...
but pick a paper...say u chose d other b4 opening it...
then open it..it'll say no...if dat guy was tellin d truth:)...n then....ur out!!
 
The above post is right..another way is to take apiece of paper drop it and it floats away ..so you must have had the yes answer.
