    You have :

    * 2 identical vases
    * 3 white marbles
    * 3 black marbles

    You can distribute the marbles in the 2 identical vases in any way you wish.
    After you place the marbles in the vases, the vases are shuffled without your looking.
    You can now draw a single marble from only one vase (either vase)

    Question: Which way should you have originally distributed the black and white marbles in the 2 vases to maximise your chances of your single draw being a *black* marble ?
