Let's think... let's say you pick a blue hat from box one. This determines that the other hat must either be red or blue. If it is blue, the solution is BB BR RR. If red, the solution is BR BR BR... and there is no way to determine the solution.

Are you sure that is the EXACT question?


very sure

 

i think that might just be the answer...any other ideas guys before i tell her that 2morrow?

EDIT: Whoops, I thought you were mentioning the teacher. Yeah, tell the girl.

Tell her the question is unanswerable, because I found this question on the internet elsewhere (with answers), but it specifically mentioned how each box was labeled. This question doesn't. Seems impossible to answer.

Then hold her and tell her it will all be okay. It's just one problem, and you can make it go away.

XD you should write out a quick dialogue Montanna, I demand it!

It's usually the other way around in most dramas and fictions though (some scarred war veteran or something with a mature woman)



He mislead you guys. Apparently there is a picture with the problem. You can search the problem on google.

"Three red hats and three blue hats are packed in three boxes, with two hats to a box.
(Picture shows three boxes. The first one is labeled RED RED. The second is BLUE BLUE. The last is BLUE RED.)
The boxes are all labeled incorrectly. To determine what each box actually contains, you may select one hat from one box, without looking at the contents of that box. Explain how this will allow you to determine the contents of each box.
Hint: List all possible solutions; then use logic to solve."

again thanks guys, now lets see if i can get some ass 2morrow :)



Anyone remember the cousin fucking thread? *shivers*

He gave us so many details too X.X I wish I just stopped reading.

It's simple.

All the boxes are labeled.

They will either say

BR BR BR or
BB RR BR

Yes, this is assuming they aren't just labeled to say BB BB BB or some such idiocy, but we have to assume that, otherwise the riddle doesn't work.

So just pick a hat out of a box labeled BR - it will be either BB or RR.

Actually, this assumes that the solution one hundred percent is not BR BR BR. Otherwise labeling it incorrectly would result in something like BB BB RR, which is not a possible combination.

So.

The boxes will be labeled BB RR BR. Check the BR, which is BB/RR. That leaves RR/BB and BR. If both hats in the BR box are blue, then the box labeled BB must both be red - vice versa if they were both red. The remaining box is BR.

Done!

no, there is no picture for me its just a packet with a bunch of words...



But Khuutra, you can't make assumptions. The boxes may be labeled BB BB BB, no matter how stupid that is.

It's logic.

I didn't... until now.  Thanks a lot.  Jerk.

Personally my favorite logic question was.

"You have 12 rows of coins.  Each coin weighs 1 gram each except for one row where each coin weighs 2 grams each."

You can weigh as many coins as you want... however you can only use the scale once.


How do you figure out which row of coins weighs 2 grams each.

 

 

Addmittingly it's my favorite though because when I was in school I was the only one in my entire class who could answer it.
