There are 10 marbles in a bag all you know. Pick one out, write it down, put it back in the bag.Try to determine what is inside of the bag, why do you believe that?

How many different 2 digit numbers can be made from; 1, 2, 3, and 4... What if you could only use each number once - how are the problems different?
