Dead or Alive battle is going on between "Daya" and "Abhijeet". The referee "ACP Pradyuman" has two papers with him -- one with "DEAD" written on it and other with "ALIVE" written on it -- Both papers are folded up and placed in a bowl. Daya is permitted to pick out one of the papers (without looking), and if he choose the one with "ALIVE" written on it, he will come out alive by winning the battle. Otherwise, he will die.
On this occasion, a mean-spirited acquaintance of Daya, bent on his demise, has substituted the paper with "ALIVE" written on it with another one with "DEAD" written on it. This person gleefully informs Daya that he is doomed to die. Daya is not permitted to speak to anyone about this misdeed, nor he has a chance to switch the papers or the bowl. How can Daya win the battle?
Difficulty Level - 3/5

Solution :
After drawing one of the papers, Daya have to swallow it. The referee would be forced to check the remaining paper to determine what the one Daya drew said. The referee would of course see a paper with "DEAD" written on it, assuming Daya drew the one with "ALIVE" written on it, and Daya will win.
