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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you could always take a pebble out

OpenStudy (turingtest):

anyone else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHH! wow, that's a good one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
