Instead of switching cups, imagine that it's adding steps to a math equation. If you're only 50% sure of your answer, it might be worth it to double check your mental math, but maybe it's not if another step is about to be added. Again, whether this reasoning applies or not depends on the nature of the "puzzle". | |
