A blind man has four pills: two red and two blue. The pills are identical in terms of shape, size, texture, weight, smell and so on. Only the colors are different.

If he consumes two red pills or two blue pills, he will immediately die. What strategy will enable the blind man to ensure that he consumes exactly one pill of each color?
