A King wanted to replace his Prime-Minister but didn't want to upset him too much. So he called the Prime-Minister to his chambe
r and put two pieces of paper in his briefcase. He told the Prime-Minister that "On one piece of paper it says 'leave' and on the second piece of paper it says 'stay'". The piece of paper that you pull out of the briefcase will decide your fate." The Prime-Minister realized that both pieces of paper say 'leave'. What should the Prime-Minister do to be able to keep his position?
Answer: Ask the king to draw first and read it. Explain that if the king selects "leave" the PM's choice could only be "stay". It is then unnecessary for the PM to draw. It avoids embarrassing the king in his lie, demonstrates the PM's intelligence, and keeps his job.
