This is all nonsense Greg 700 . . . . . the experiment has no 'end' therefore you cannot 'stop' to count your marbles . .all you can do is take a snapshot view at any given time . . . .

Condition 1 - At any given time there are 9 times as many marbles IN the bag as ot of it. You will never take them all out because you are always putting them in at a rate of 9 to 1. the bag jsut gets bigger ad infinitum.

Condition 2 - Exactly the same except there are always 9 more marbles in the bag after any given amount of time has elapsed (assuming you removed marble 1 in Condition 1 immediately upon putting it in).
