If you have 9 marbles and 4 bags, how can you put an odd number of marbles into each of the 4 bags? (you must use all 9 marbles, btw)

Put the marbles in one bag, put that bag in the next bag, and so on and so forth until you are out of bags.

Bag 1, Bag 2, Bag 3, Bag 4.
Bag 1 = 1 marble
Bag 2 = 2 marble with bag 1 inside it. = 3 Marbles in Bag 2
Bag 3 = 5
Bag 4 = 1

Put all the marbles inside 1 of the bags, than put that bag inside one of the other bags, and than those 2 bags inside a 3rd bag and the 3 bags inside the 4th bag - that way each bag has an odd number of marbles in it

Put one marble in the first bag
Place the first bag inside the second bag.
Put two more marbles in the second bag (for a total of 3 marbles in the second bag altogether).
Put 3 marbles in the third bag.
Put the remaining 3 marbles in the fourth bag.

3 marbles in 3 small bags, which all go in one big bag so that there's a total of 4 bags, 3 with 3 marbles each and 1 with 9

easy. just put 1 into each bag until you reach 9. You did not say they had to ADD UP to an odd number. And all these people claiming to put one bag into the other need to read the question carefully. It asks to put a marble "into each of the 4 bags". Damn I'm good!!!

Put three marbles each in three of the bags, then put those three bags in the fourth bag.
