More Riddle, woo \o/
The King
In need of some amusement, the king, a very harsh man, had decided he was to challenge one of his current prisoners with a small test. The king was to place 2 marbles in to a pot which was secured to a table. One marble to be green, and the other blue. The pot was not transparent and could in no way be moved from the table.
The king proposed that if the prisoner could pick the green marble out of the pot, he would then be let free from the prison with his life, however if he picked the blue marble, he was to be executed.
The king decided to pick a mute prisoner to take the challenge, one of his guards was sent to the cells to fetch a prisoner, upon his return everything was explained to the prisoner and he agreed to the challenge.
The king being the mean man he was decided to evily place two blue marbles in the jar and no green marbles. The prisoner managed to witness the king doing this and realised there was absolutely no chance he could pick a green marble from the pot.
However, five minutes later, the prisoner was walking the streets outside of the prison, free with his life.
Question
How did the prisoner escape with his life?
