There are three boxes which each contain two marbles: one has two white, one has two black and one has one white and one black marble. Each of the boxes also is labelled as to its content, but each label is incorrect. What is the fewest number of marble you could remove from the boxes and look at in order to definitely determine the content of all the three boxes? .... Rules.. The next logic puzzle will only come up when there is an answer to the existing puzzle... Answers provided may require explanation. You are allowed to cheat....lol let the game begin..... 1 Like |

The trick is to pick all 3 marbles from only 2 bags. I ll deal with the first 3 ways..... 1. b b w * If i pick b in bag 1 * And i pick b in bag 2( I have already picked same colours from 2 bags) * I don't need to check bag 3( there are 2w in lt) * So i pick the 2nd marble in bag 2(The color determines what would be in bag 1. 2. b w b * If i pick b in bag 1 * And i pick w in bag 2 * Then i pick my 3rd marble from bag 1 or 2. * Any colour I pick determines what would be in all 3 bags. 3. w b b * If I pick w in bag 1 * Picked b in bag 2 * If I pick the 3rd marble from either bag 1 or 2, i can determine what colours are in the 3 bags. 4 Likes |

McWhillion: The trick is to pick all 3 marbles from only 2 bags.you know what...there is another way to make this clearer...if possible get three bowls...put in each bowls two clothes each( 2 whites in one, 2 black in one and one white and black in the other) after you've done this, get a paper and intentionally label the bowls incorrectly! now try and pick from each bowls( clothe) to figure out the minimum you will need to pick to determine all three contents correctly!!!!!! that should be clearer!!!! |

MoyoGENERAL: Broda, its only 1 marble you need to pick and that's from the bag wrongly labelled as having 1black and 1 white marble. (I didn't pay attention to the wrongly labelled part.) I was assuming it had no labels at all. 2 Likes |

This is called Bertrand's box paradox. These simple but slightly counterintuitive puzzles are used as a standard example in teaching probability theory. Their solution illustrates some basic principles, including the Kolmogorov axioms. Am nt gud at maths,am gud at readn. I came across ds in one of Dan Brown's novel, #digital fotress# .

3 boxes each containing 2 marbles Box A = WW Box B = BB Box C = BW Assuming they were incorrectly labelled, the only way of ascertaining the contents of all three boxes will be to pick all the contents of two boxes, so that is a minimum of 4 Marbles Am I right? 10 Likes |

4 marbles. You'll need to pick @ list 4 marbles from the three boxes to be certain of the correct contents of the boxes. That is: Box 1: could be black, black Box 2: could be white, white Then you'd know that Box 3 has black and white. OR: Box 1: black black or white, white, then; Box 2: white, black Thereby knowing the contents in just 4 marble selection. You could be lucky to pick: Box 1: white, black Box 2: black or pick white Thereby knowing the contents in 3 selection. But with first and second situation described above could have happened. Therefore 4 marbles is the least needed to be certain of the contents of the boxes. I hope I make sense? 3 Likes |
