I know this is a Tech-Forum and I'll take heat for this, but I really need help with my schoolwork. There is this one problem I can't figure out and it is for math. Can you guys help?
This is how the problem goes.
Three red hats and three blue hats are packed in three boxes, with two hats to a box. The boxes are all labeled incorrectly. To determine what each box actually contains, you may select one bohat from one box, without looking at the contents of that box. Explain how this will allow you to determine the contents of each box. (Hint: List all possible solutions; then use logic to solve.)
Box 1 has label Red & Red, Box 1 is Blue & Blue, Box 3 is Red & Blue; remember they are labeled incorrectly.
What I can't understand is what solutions, let alone the question. Please help me. Thank you.
