ok so aladdin and Jasmine are in love and the sultan doesnt want them to be together.he calls for all the princes from the north,south,east,and west to try to marry her. She turns them all down. Finally, the sultan gives Aladdin the chance to marry his daughter by way of a hat draw. He will draw 1 of 2 papers,one saying accept,the other saying execute. if he pulled accept then they would get married and live happily ever after. that night the parrot saw the sultan writing execute on both papers and he runs and tells aladdin about it. the next day aladdin is about to draw the paper in front of the whole kingdom even though he knows that both say execute. so he draws it------then him and Jasmine go off and live happily ever after, im supposed to figure out what happened in that point of time that led to them being together.help plz he said he will buy me lunch if i can get t right
 
Well, Duh- He wrote his own "accept" on a paper, and just picked up a paper from the hat, and opened the one he wrote on..

Typical illusion..

Nah I like Spot A's answer better. That makes more sense.. Plus he has a good riddle..

Just ask which one tells the truth.
 
sorry to say it but this is a stupid riddle... i think he rewrote them
 
He takes one out then rips it up and says that was the "accept" one. If you don't believe me, read the one remaining in the hat

Try this one on your teacher:

There are two tribes, one tribe always lies and one always tells the truth. Both tribes will only answer one question asked by a stranger.

A man riding in the desert and low on water comes to a fork in the road. The signpost has been removed but one man from each of the two tribes is sitting there. They look exactly alike. The riding man knows that one path leads to the oasis and one leads to certain death. What question does he ask?
 
He could have slipped 'accept' into his sleeve. They could have just run away. He could have asked the sultan to show him both pieces of paper first.
 
He draws out the second one and displays it.
It says execute so the crowd assume the first must say accept.
