You have 3 jars. Each jar has a label on it: white, black,
or white&black. You have 3 sets of marbles: white, black,
and white&black. One set is stored in one jar. The labels
on the jars are guaranteed to be incorrect (i.e. white will
not contain white). Which jar would you choose from to give
you the best chances of identifying the which set of
marbles in is in which jar?

Answer Posted / sceptic

DV is ABSOLUTELY Right. There is only and only 2 combination
possible for this problem. Even if you try you cannot
arrange them in any other way. So,

Jar Arrangements: B W B&W
Arrangement #1 w b&w b
Arrangement #2 b&w b w

So you pick any Jar and look at the color and it must follow
either Arrangement 1 or 2. So, you pick rest of your answer
from this table accordingly.

Scenario : Say you pick Jar:B and it contains White (w)

Color left: Black and B&W and Jar left: White and B&W

B&W cannot be in the B&W jar so it must be in the White Jar.

Exactly the same theory goes for whichever Jar you pick and
color it come out to.

**This is exactly what AJ said but I thought I would
reaffirm since people marked it as wrong :S
