na, you can't see though it.....

[colsoop]

I think the answer is 1

[kslb]

If all the barrels are incorrectly labelled then take one ball from the barrell labeled 50/50 if it is black then put the black label on it and the mixed label you remove onto the barel labeled 100 white balls and the white label onto the barrel labeled 100 black balls.

 

or vice versa!

 

The answer is one!

 

But it must be removed from the barrel labeled 50/50.

[PURCHASING MODE]I'd have just sent them back to the supplier.[/PUrCHASING MODE]

na, you can't see though it.....

 

What about with x-ray specs??

 

I don't see how the answer could be one if the barrels are labelled wrong! How would you know which one is actually the 50/50 with only one ball?

 

ie you could remove a black ball but is that the 100% black or the 50/50??

Actually I mwould have claimed that the carrier had lost them and then got an extra 3 barrels of balls free!!

If they are incorrectly labeled then the one with 50/50 on it must be either 100% black or 100% white.

The key is to read the question! If they are all labelled WRONG then you know it cannot be the mixed barrel and if the ball is white it cannot be the black barrel!

[kslb]

If they are incorrectly labeled then the one with 50/50 on it must be either 100% black or 100% white.

 

Thanks I am too slow

[Havard]

Thanks I am too slow

 

Good point!!

 

H.

[kslb]

Good point!!

 

H.

 

 

Nah this is a good point!

[Big Ads]

Each incorectly labelled.

 

 

I presumed the labelling was completly wrong as in they all read "533 Peaches". No?

[scooby_doo_do]

The answer in correct i'm affraid. It's 1.

 

If they are all labelled incorectly, then you go for the 50.50 first. If it's black then you take the black label and put it on the 50/50 barrel. You are then left with two other barrels, one with a label on that is incorect, so you put the 50/50 label on that, and then your left with one barrel and one label. Hey presto.
