The impossible riddle!! Even the proffesors from OXFORD didnt figure it out!!!!

Each coin has one side black and one side white.

there's 100 coins and on a table without any order. 90 up with the black side and 10 with the white side. .
The room is completely dark and you are required to divide the coins into two groups(dosent have to be equal groups) so that in each group you will have the same number of coins with white on top.
You can do whatever you want with the coins in the room, know that there is no way to see the colour of the coin.

hint: you can turn over the coins.


mark the solution below...

the solution is very simple.
you need to take 10 random coins to the side and turn them over.
To prove a matter of fact I'll show three cases:
Suppose we did not take even 1 white coin. We have 10 black. we turning over the 10 black> two teams have 10 white
Suppose we took from 1 to 9 white coins, for example four white coins. Remained sixth largest group of white coins. We turned over our 10 small group and we have six white.
Suppose we took all the 10 white, in the largest group no white coin remaind. We turned over our 10 and we have no white coin too.

hope you liked it..

  4. It's completely dark that means no light, if there's no light you can't see any colour, doesn't matter if you flip a coin to white side~ soo easy
