Find the right candy jar…
Who does not love candy? I always loved those colorful candies but I liked that one colored candy. Now I got red candy and blue candy but I like to get the red one, here is my trouble. There are 3 jars (not transparent) that are mislabeled, one jar has red candy, one has blue candy and one has a mix. Now the mix is not necessarily 50-50, it could be any ratio. I have to blindly pick candy from the jars and find out which jar has which type of candy in the minimal possible turns. How many turns are needed to find out which Jar has what candy?
Did you know that red jelly beans are kid’s favorite. Have fun 🙂
The answer is one try.
As all jars are mislabeled, if in one turn we pick
Out from the jar labeled as mixed and I find a red jelly
then it means we just have to inter change the labels of the other
