IMAGINE THAT YOU have three boxes, one containing two black
marbles, one containing two white marbles, and the third, one
black marble and one white marble. The boxes were labeled for
their contents-BB, WW and BW-but someone has switched
the labels so that every box is now incorrectly labeled. You are
allowed to take one marble at a time out of any box, without
looking inside, and by this process of sampling you are to
determine the contents of all three boxes. What is the smallest
number of drawings needed to do this?
