I totally love riddles too, but this one is pretty tricky and controversial. 

Here is the riddle…

Imagine you are in a forest somewhere and happen to be captured by a weird man. The man says to you, “I will let you go if you eat the safe jelly bean sitting on the tree stump.”

He goes on to explain that two of the jelly beans happen to be poisonous and that you’ll die very quickly if you eat either of them. One happens to be totally safe, but all three are super delicious. 

Are we good so far?

He wants you to choose a jelly bean. Let’s say you choose green first.

“Hold on,” the man says. He goes on to explain that he will remove one of the other jelly beans and put it in his pocket. The one he chooses will be poisonous.
