Sorry, I had to...

OK, so, a landlord says his tennant and daughter have to move out, unless the daughter agrees to marry the landlord, which she doesn't want to do.

The landlord comes up with a plan. One day whilst this dispute is going on, the landlord gets 2 stones from the path out front of the house, which contains a mix of black & white stones. He places the stones in a bag, one stone per bag. He tells the woman what he's done, saying that if she can choose the bag with the white stone in it, without looking whatsoever, she wins & doesn't have to marry him.

However, the landlord doesn't tell the woman that the two stones are in fact black.

How can she win?

Then she wouldn't be picking, so she looses by definition.
