I agree w/ jimmy
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
we have plenty of pebble beaches here in the UK.
and the answer is not zero.
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
jimmyrep is right! - do you know why?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you can put a pebble in as many times as you empty the bag
hero (hero):
1 time.

after the first time the bag won't be empty anymore
OpenStudy (turingtest):
b/c after 1 the bag isn't empty
OpenStudy (anonymous):
after you've put a pebble into the bag it is no longer empty
hero (hero):
Because once you put one pebble in it, it ceases to be empty
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
correct!
