You've missed a key piece of information: The labels are all wrong. Not just unreliable. Wrong. (P.S. You can do it in one ball.)

- oconnore 16y agoThese puzzles are more about recognizing fuzzy areas in the problem definition than about any sort of logic. In conversational English, "the labels are all wrong" does not guarantee that each label is guaranteed wrong, only that at least one of the labels is done incorrectly. Another example: You have a room with one light bulb. Outside the room are three switches. How do you determine which switch controls the light bulb by only opening the door once. This problem requires you to suspend certain assumptions about the real world (you can't see light coming from underneath the door), while preserving other ones (you can hold the light bulb, and it heats up, it stays hot). Solving the problem is more about finding the right level of fuzzying the problem definition than any sort of test of logic.
