however, i still can't get over the fact that the in rate is always greater than the rate out... so how can all the marbles come out?? [/QUOTE
With the first problem they all come out because you are removing an infinite number of marbles sequentially. You can name any number, and I would be able to pick it up from the discard pile and show you that it had been removed, therefore there are no marbles in the bag.
