Puzzle There are three boxes. One labeled CARROTS, one labeled CELERY and one labeled CARROTS AND CELERY, you know they are incorrectly labeled. You can ask me to take one vegetable from one of the boxes that you choose. How do you label the three boxes correctly? If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

Take a vegetable out of either the Carrot or the Celery.
Let's just say Carrot.
If you take it out and it's a carrot, then you know that one is really Carrots & Celery.
And then the one labeled Celery must be carrot, and the one labeled Carrots & Celery must be just celery.
But if you pick the Carrot box and pull out a celery, then it's trickier. I'll have to think about that a little bit longer and get back to you.

i chose the box Carrots and Celery
which ever one comes out is in that box's label should be. then switch the other two labels.
that is C and C out comes a carrot: so that box is now carrots:
the box that was labelled Carrots MUST Be celery and the one marked Celery has to be carrots and celery [Edited 12/17/12 8:51am]
Trying to be more clear:
I would ask for box the box labelled Carrots and Celery.
What ever that is we know that is what that box should be labelled.
So there are 2 boxes that remain that are still mislabeled
Carrots and Celery
So you can put the C and Cel label on the box that matches the one that was pulled out of the AND box but then you have to switch it with the one that is left over as we know that all 3 boxes were mislabeled. So all three boxes have new labels and we know one of them (the AND Box is correctly labelled so they all three are now correct)

If we KNOW that all 3 boxes are incorrectly labled and there is NO chance that the boxes are empty than I would have you pull one Veg from the box labled C & C. Since it is inpossible for the third box to have two vegs in it, since we know its current label to be false, there is either a Car or a Cel in that box, not both. If it is a Car than the box originally marked "Carrots" would have to be marked cel.
Boxes in original set up:
Box 1: Carrots Box 2: Celery Box 3: Carrots and Celery
I ask you to pull one veg from box three. We will say that you pulled out a Carrot. Than I would label the boxes:
Box 1: Celery Box 2:Carrots and Celery Box 3: Carrots
If you pulled out a Celery, the boxes would be labled:
Box 1: Celery and Carrots Box 2: Carrots Box 3: Celery "Aren't you even curious? Don't you want to see the dragon behind the door?" | |

You have two jugs, the 1st jug can hold up to 3 liters of water. The second jug can hold up to 5 liters of water. How do you know when the second jug has exactly 4 liters of water in it? You can ONLY use the jugs and water to figure it out. "Aren't you even curious? Don't you want to see the dragon behind the door?" | |

Fill 3 liter pour into 5 liter, fill 3 liter again fill 5 liter with the 2 liters leaving 1 liter in the 3 liter jug. Pour out 5 liter jug, pour the 1 liter in it, fill 3 liter again pour into 5 liter jug. | |

Nice one only and lady. This is how I had solved it. Same same but worded differently. 1) Pick a vegetable from the box labeled carrots and celery. Whatever comes out is necessarily the sole vegetable in that box and can be labelled as such. Let's say carrot. We know it's not the celery box as a carrot came out and we know it's not the mixed box as that would mean it's labeled correctly. 2)the box labeled celery now must be the celery/carrot box as we know it can't be the celery box (as its incorrectly labeled) and we already know the carrot box, leaving the mixed box as the only option. 3)that's two of three correctly labeled making the last box, labeled carrot as the box containing the celery through a simple process of elimination.

Put the 3 boxes away, find the vodka, and the question becomes irrelevant.
