QUESTION:

The Prisoner’s Escape

A clever prisoner was going to be put to death by the King for a crime he did not commit. Pleading to the King, the clever prisoner was offered a chance. The king were to put two strips of paper in a sack. One has LIFE written on it; the other DEATH. If the prisoner picked LIFE- he will be freed, but if he picks DEATH- he will be executed. Another prisoner heard of this, and out of jealousy, while the guards were asleep, he snuck out and changed one of the papers from LIFE to DEATH. In short, both papers had DEATH written on it in the sack. Surely, the clever prisoner will be put to death by morning. When morning came, the clever prisoner had to pick a paper. Before leaving the cell, the other prisoner whispered to him that he had changed both papers to DEATH. Surely, he will not survive…

Moments later, the guards arrive and told the other prisoner that the clever prisoner was freed!

The prisoner was shocked to hear it. And so are you. How did the clever prisoner do it?
