Winning a rigged game - An interesting puzzle




          In a distant kingdom lived a king and his beautiful daughter. The daughter was in love with a peasant which the king strongly objects. However, he decided to show his fairness.


          He gave the peasant a chance. He said he will let the peasant draw from 2 slips of paper, one of which has the word MARRIAGE written and the word DEATH on the other. The peasant agreed. On the way to the castle, the peasant over-heard the king and his knight talking.

Knight: “Sire, how can you let someone like him have the chance to marry the princess?”

King: “Don’t worry, I have written the word DEATH on both the papers

Being a clever boy, the peasant found a way and later that day, married the princess. What did he do ? (Note : He cant lie and he cant change the slips in any way)


Can you figure out the answer ????

Happy solving :)
Cheers !
