Fenring, that one was also easy...as shown here by Beirut.

Hey, I consider Beirut a cunning and devious man...

This is 2 mothers and 3 daughters. The correct answer is obviously:

Mother-daughter + eve.

This is not the place to discuss religion

No, no, no...Its...welll...i dont really know, but this conversation has hit a dead end somewhere...

You have three containers of marbles. One has only red marbles, one has only blue marbles and the third has an equal number of red and blue marbles. The labels on the containers have been switched so that each container is wrongly labled. Your job is to fix the labels correctly. Of course you could just look in the containers to find out which labels match, but can you do it without looking into each container? Reach into any one of the containers and select one marble. Can you now correctly label all three containers? If not, select a second marble from any container. What is the fewest number of marbles you need to inspect in order to correctly label each container?

(Bleh....that was a mouthful)
