Disclaimer - I am not a chemist.
How WOULD one separate salt from sugar?  Let's have some inventive ideas.
Forgive me of this is in Chemistry 101 and is an easy undergraduate problem.

Both are water soluble, so there is no point in dissolving one and filtering 
out the solid part.
Is there a solute which acts on sugar but not on salt  (let's say common table 
salt and sucrose crystals for arguments sake).

Or do we ned a sophisticated Rube Goldberg machine which sends drops a stream 
of single crystals through a laser scanner
which is then followed by an ultrafast air-blast kicker to sort the crystals 
into separate hoppers.
