MoyoGENERAL: 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? 1 ball only. Let the incorrectly labeled boxes be WW, BB, WB. Since the boxes are labeled incorrectly, then WB contains 2W or 2B, WW and BB can contain 1W1B or two balls of the same colour. Consequently, we pick one ball from WB only. If we pick a black ball from WB, then WB contains 2B, WW contains 1W1B and BB contains 2W. However, if we pick a white ball from WB, then WB contains 2W, WW contains 2B and BB contains 1W1B. |

HIV1: The answer is 2.Since the marbles are in a bag, the assumption is that you only see what you bring out. |

Re: Believe Me, This Is Going To Make You Sweat!.the Best Of Puzzles. by emiye(m): 10:43pm On Jul 12, 2014 |
Box A = BB, Box B= WW, Box C = BW. PICK 1:If my first pick is Black, it means the box is not a possible Box B, but Box A or C. PICK 2 :I will simply pick from another box, if it is black, i will pick the second ball from the same box, PICK 3:if it is white, then it is box C, If it is black, then it is Box A That then means the last Box i have not picked from is Box B ( 3 ATTEMPTS). ALTERNATE scenario: Box A = BB, Box B= WW, Box C = BW. PICK 1:If my first pick is white, it means the box is not a possible Box A, but a B or C PICK 2 :I will simply pick from another box, if it is black, i will pick the second ball from the same box,PICK 3: if it is white, then it is box C, If it is black, then it is Box A That then means the last Box i have not picked from is Box B ( 3 ATTEMPTS).

Re: Believe Me, This Is Going To Make You Sweat!.the Best Of Puzzles. by Larrylarex(m): 11:11pm On Jul 12, 2014 |
saintneo:Gbam! This is the answer, I came late, I solved it but want to know if someone has gotten it right before commenting and here he is! The minimum number you really have to pick is just one from the one labelled as containing black and white if you pick white there, that means the two marbles are white. The remaining two contained black&white and black but they were labelled black and white, since they're labelled incorrectly, the one labelled as having white will actually have black and the one labelled black will contain black&white marbles Ces't ce clear? |
Re: Believe Me, This Is Going To Make You Sweat!.the Best Of Puzzles. by amd4598(m): 11:31pm On Jul 12, 2014 |
5 marbles picked from all boxes can determine the correct label. Firsly, pick one marble each from the 3boxes. With that u know the 1st colour. Start all over and pick the 2nd marble in 2 of the 3 boxes. With that u know the correct label for the 2boxes, u know the colour left in the 3rd box unpicked. |

Re: Believe Me, This Is Going To Make You Sweat!.the Best Of Puzzles. by chronique(m): 11:50pm On Jul 12, 2014 |
The minimum no of marbles to pick to determine the content of all boxes is 2. Given the fact that all boxes are incorrectly labelled,you should pick as follows: 1st pick: box 1(incorrectly labelled as Black),gives you a white marble. This means you have either picked from the box with a white and black marble,or an all white marble box. 2nd pick: box 2(incorrectly labelled as white or black/white),gives you either a white marble,or a black marble. If it was labelled white and you picked a white marble,it means you have at this stage,picked from the box with white/black marble,and the box with all white marble. This means that the third box is all black marble. If it was labelled black/white,and you picked white or black,it means the third box is black or white. The most important box to pick from,is the box incorrectly labelled as black and white. Whatever you pick from that box,and the subsequent box,would determine what's in the last box. |

oya Yorex2011 where u dey come see this one |
Re: Believe Me, This Is Going To Make You Sweat!.the Best Of Puzzles. by ChukChinCol(m): 12:06am On Jul 13, 2014 |
They are carefully arranged but wrongly labelled. For example 1st box was tagged BB, (wrongly labelled) and u picked B first,u have to pick the next cos it can be BB or WB. And let's say 2nd box was tagged WW. If u pick W first, u have to pick the other cos it can be WW or WB. If u observed that 1st box has WW and 2nd box has BB, it means that 3rd box has WB. You need a minimum of 4 picks! |
Re: Believe Me, This Is Going To Make You Sweat!.the Best Of Puzzles. by yorex2011: 12:13am On Jul 13, 2014 |
ewosk: oya Yorex2011 where u dey come see this oneI pick the box containing the incorrectly labeled "black and white".. If i pick white then i knw it has to be d all white box (cos they labeled it black and white meaning it has to be all white)... Then i pick a ball from the one labeled all while... If i pick a white ball, then i knw it has to be d one with black and white inside..... Leaving me with d last box being all black... Same goes if i picked d box labeled all black... So the answer is i need just 2 balls.... Hope my xplanation is not too hard yo comprehend? But going thru again i wud actually need just one ball which is from the first pick... Since they are incorectly labeled u can actually use dat info to get the other two boxes... |
