Can you solve the rebel supplies riddle? - Alex Gendler

Solution to Bonus Riddle: brilliant.org/tededmislabelle...
You’re overseeing the delivery of supplies to a rebel base in the heart of enemy territory. To get past customs, all packages must follow this rule: if a box is marked with an even number on the bottom, it must be sealed with a red top. One of the four boxes was sealed incorrectly, but they lost track of which one. Can you figure out which box it is and save the day? Alex Gendler shows how.

    The riddle is slightly confusing especially the part where they say that when we grab a box, we would deprived the rebels of their supplies. So I thought you can only inspect 1 box to make sure that is the wrong one. Not taking two boxes away.

    for the bonus riddle you only have to open 2 boxes: open any one and if it's right, easy. if not, open the box labelled with what you found. the box labelled with what you find in the second box is also wrong, so the final box is correct example: i open the apples box and find dates, then open the dates box. it can't contain dates since the apples box does, and it can't be apples because that would force both of the other boxes to be right or wrong, neither of which is allowed. say it contains bananas, i know the bananas box has to have apples, so the carrots box is labelled correctly

    The bonus riddle can be answered with just 2 boxes. For the first box, you have a 75% chance to open an incorrect box. Once you see the actual item inside, open the box with that item's label. At that point, you know that the boxes you opened AND the box labeled for the second box's actual contents were misplaced, while the remaining box was pristine. If you opened the accurate box, you already know which 3 boxes are mislabeled, but you can open one of the mislabeled boxes to figure out the triangular direction of the label shift.

    You actually don't have to check the box with the item's label. If you looked in the box labelled 'Apples' first, and it contained bananas, you then know that the box labelled 'Bananas' is labelled incorrectly. Then, you can check the box labelled 'Carrots'. If it's correct, great. If not, you then know that the boxes labelled 'Apples,' 'Carrots' and 'Bananas' are labelled incorrectly and the box labelled 'Dates' is correct.

You immediately knows that banana box is filled with wrong stuff, and it will increase your chances of opening the right box on the second try by avoiding the banana box. Sure, this part didn't matter because the question didn't care about the process. But in my opinion this method is better because it's much more efficient.

    About the bonus riddle, I think the maximum time of checking is 2. Here is how I go about this: First select a random box to check, say I check the Apple box, and found banana inside. Then according to the content of the box I can deduce that the Banana box is definitely not containing Banana, which left us with Carrots and Dates box. Finally just check one of the remaining boxes, if you found it, nice! If you didn't, the last box is the correct box. So I figure the maximum is 2, would be nice if someone share their thoughts

You know Banana box must contain either Dates or Carrots and also either Dates or Carrots Box must contain Bananas. By selecting the Apple box and find Dates you will know Dates box has Bananas and the Carrot box contain Carrots. Or you can pick the Dates box and find bananas or the Carrot box with Carrots.

    My favorite thing about this riddle is what it says about the way we humans think. Structurally the shipments to restaurants is exactly the same, as is who do you need to card in a bar type environment, but the "natural" situations are easy for our brains to get correct (since most people can do it without thinking about it too much) while the more "abstract" versions, such as this one or with cards, require significantly more thinking for most people.

    Also to identify all 4 fruits, you only need to open two boxes. The idea is, the three of them must be permutated in a circle. So you check one and its fitting its label, you go check any other one and know how the permutation goes. If the first one is not fitting you open any other box except for the one labeled as the fruit you found in the first box. Then you can see if it fits its label or if its also part of the permutation (together with the first box and the box which is labeled as the fruit inside the first box).

    For the bonus riddle, you would need to check just two boxes to determine which three are mislabeled. The first box you open will either be incorrect or correct. If it's correct, then you know the other three are mislabeled, then you just need to open one more box to see what the correct label should be. To demonstrate the correction, let's say the remaining boxes are box 2,3,&4. Box 1 was correctly labeled as apples and box 2 is labeled as bananas. You open box 2 and find that it contains oranges, which is the label for box 3. To fix the mislabel, you don't even have to look in the other boxes, you just need to move box 3's label of oranges to box 2, put box 4's label of Dates on box 3, and put box 2's banana label on box 4. Why? because if box 3 contained bananas, then box 4 would have to be correct, which we know is false. Thus, if box 2 has no bananas, then neither can box 3. That means the bananas must be in box 4. Two options work for an initially incorrect box as well. If the first box is incorrect, then all you have to do is look in the box labeled for box 1's items and then you know that whatever box is labeled for box 2's items is the third mislabeled box, and again, you know that that box will contain the items for box 1's label. In short, checking just two boxes will allow you to identify the three incorrect boxes and allow you to correct the mistake.

    Answer to the bonus riddle is 2 boxes. You check one box, if it is labelled correctly then you have solved the problem, if not then you have gained information about a second box as well. Since you know what the box you opened contains, say it contained carrots but was labelled apples then you know the box labelled carrots can't contain carrots. So you check one of the other two boxes as they are the only two that could be labelled correctly, either you open the correctly labelled box or the third incorrectly labelled box.
