10 Black marbles @ 1 oz. ea. = Ink jar
10 White marbles @ 1 oz ea. = Water Jar

Remove one black marble from Ink Jar and add it to the Water Jar

Water Jar now has 11 marbles @ 10 to 1 ratio (white to black)

Reach in (blind) and remove one random marble (odds are 10 to 1 that it will be a white marble) and put that marble in the Ink Jar.

QUOTE: "Does the bottle of water contain more ink than the bottle of ink contains water"

The Vegas line says: Bet with Mr. Carlton - 9 white one black / 9 black one white ... but people do win the lottery occasionally ..so....)
