“There are three boxes of Christmas eggs. In each box there is either a set of big Christmas eggs, Christmas small eggs or big and small Christmas eggs mixed. The boxes are labelled (shock) LARGE, SMALL and MIXED but each box is labelled incorrectly. What is the least number of boxes you can open to know which eggs are in which box and why?”

You open the box marked BIG and it’s filled of the small eggs.

You know that the other two boxes must contain the big and mixed egg groups.

Those two boxes are marked SMALL and MIXED.

Now the box labelled MIXED must hold the big eggs because all boxes are labelled incorrectly.

Which leaves the SMALL box holding the big eggs.

…and all you had to do was open one box of eggs!
