Continue this until only one marble remains in the box. What color is the last marble?-The last marble will be WHITE.Since marbles can only be taken out in pairs and you started off with an odd number of whites there is always going to be one white left over that youll keep putting back in the box until its left on its own.......

Remove two marbles, randomly, from the box. If they are of different colors, put the white one back in the box. If they are the same color, take them out and put a black marble back in the box. Continue this until only one marble remains in the box. What color is the last marble?

The last marble will be WHITE.

Since marbles can only be taken out in pairs and you started off with an odd number of whites there is always going to be one white left over that you'll keep putting back in the box until it's left on its own.
