I was thinking about it in my math-head way, and going a little too complicated instead of going more logical. Thanks for explaining.

And did anyone check out this link from that article?

It's totally amazing what Lang can do. The insect ones are the ones that knocked me out the most. How the heck can he get all those details, especially all the pointy legs and antennae, out of one square sheet of paper?? wow!

Back with the jar thing, I realized that it could have been explained in a much easier way: If you have two jars that will have exactly the same number of marbles in them, and the over-all quantity of both colors of marbles used is exactly the same... any way that they are distributed has to result in the jars having the exact opposite proportion of marble colors (or the same number of 'wrongs' for each jar). Yes, it took me this long to get that thought together :P
