i had no freakin idea how to figure it out. how do you even come up with these teasers
Add half marbles in two bags and then cut a hole in one bag. Well, the top bag.
I got it right, if inly because I've seen teasers like this.
Pretty easy. Fun.
Omg!

Wow - a clever situation teaser! Well done.
Clever! Nice job, keep 'em coming :-)

Good teaser, but definitely a trick.
I thought you just use 3, 2 in one bag and 1 in the other and throw out the other 97
NICE! one of the best teasers yet!
