DEATH
You've been sentenced to death in an obscure foreign country which has a strange law. Before the sentence is carried out, two papers -- one with "LIFE" written on it and one with "DEATH" written on it -- are folded up and placed in a hat. You are permitted to pick out one of the papers (without looking), and if you choose the one with "LIFE" written on it, you are set free. Otherwise, the death sentence is carried out. On this occasion, an enemy of yours, bent on your demise, has substituted the paper with "LIFE" written on it with another one with "DEATH" written on it. Now both the papers from which you have to pick out are written “DEATH” on them. This person informs you of what he has done and that you are doomed to die. You are not permitted to speak to anyone about this misdeed, nor will you have a chance to switch the papers or the hat yourself in time. How will you avoid certain death?

You can ask the judge if he is ok to reverse the punishing paper. i.e. death sentence if you pick LIFE and set free if you pick DEATH. In that case you will be free man irrespective of the paper you choose.
