While waiting for the bus... solve this:

[pkonowrocki]

Put all the white chips in one box, dump salsa on them, smell which box they are in and draw a chip from that box

[Star Alliance]

Now, how would you distribute the chips into the boxes to have a maximum chance of not getting banned?

25 of each in both boxes.
50% of staying a member from either box.
Is my reasoning correct?

Come on Mitch, you must have a much better (funnier) idea than that!

Your reasoning is perfectly correct, but your strategy (while being a good starting point) is... err... a.. slight ... bit sub-optimal...

Since you're just drawing one, just make sure a white chip is the top one on both piles and the hell with the order of the rest. eh?

Another good starting point as any out-of-the-box creative thought.

Combine the ideas behind your both posts and youre there.

Before I retire from posting this type of questions, solution for the last:

You *CAN* control the content of one box, so: *ONE* white chip in one box, all the rest in the other one. Almost 75% (99% of 75%) probability of NOT getting banned...
