Betcha can't solve it.

A man is feeling sick. He goes from doctor to doctor but nobody knows what's wrong with him. Finally, he goes to this doctor he remembers going to when he was a child, but never again. The guy informs him he has an incredibly, mind-blowingly rare disease. Alas, because of this, he has but only one medical treatment left. He gives him two jars of pills. One is marked A and one is marked B.
The doctor tells him "These are the rules of these pills.
You have to take one of each every day. If you don't, you'll die.
You cannot take more than one each day. Die, etc.
You can't miss one, etc, die, etc.
Anyways, so he goes home. The first day he is home, he figures out that they look alike, taste alike, smell alike, and feel alike. The only difference is their chemicals. So he takes them for a couple days. But one day...He gets one of the A pill. As he's tipping the B jar over, it slips and 2 B's fall out, but the rest are fine.
Now he has 1 A and 2 B's. If he eats them all, he will die. If he eats 2, he might get 1 A and 1 B and then he will die. He doesn't have time to go to the lab and get them dissected, so he needs to make a split-second decision.
What's he do?
I'll come back to this thread in a couple of hours. We will see if you have an answer then.
