Before you make your assessment, you can consult an expert.

The expert you consult might be informed about the ball drawn by the computer. If he knows the color, he will report it to you. If he does not know the color, he will simply report to you his preferred color.

There are {{ Constants.total }} {{ Constants.colour1 }} experts and {{ Constants.total }} {{ Constants.colour2 }} experts. You choose whether you want to hear from a {{ Constants.colour1 }} expert or a {{ Constants.colour2 }} expert. If you choose a {{ Constants.colour1 }} expert, the computer randomly picks one {{ Constants.colour1 }} expert to advise you. If you choose to hear from a {{ Constants.colour2 }} expert, the computer randomly picks one {{ Constants.colour2 }} expert.
