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)

You only need one marble.

Pull a marble out of the jar marked "mixed".

Whatever color it is, is the color for that jar. Remove the "mixed" label and replace it with correct color label.

Whichever jar still has a label on it is the "mixed" jar. Fix that label.

Put the last label on the last jar.

Edit: Sorry guys. I don't know any good riddles. Does anyone else have one?
