Logical Riddle: How Do You Correct the Label

Sharpen your logical skills with this riddle.


You have 3 opaque jars.

One contains red candy, one contains blue candy and one contains both red & blue candies.

They are all labeled but all the labels are on the wrong jar.

You can pull out only one candy from any one of the jars and then you have to put the labels in the right order.

How do you do it?


If you get the correct answer, share it with your friends on WhatsApp, Facebook and other social networking sites.

Choose the box labeled red & blue candies.

If a red candy comes out it is definitely the red candy box, if blue candy comes out it is a blue candy box, since they are all labelled wrong it cannot be the box which contains both red & blue candies.

For simplicity let’s assume that the it was the red candy in the box labelled red & blue candies.

So we label it as red candy box.

Since all the labels are wrong the one which has blue candy as the label will also be wrong, so that can be labelled as red & blue candies box and finally the last box can be labelled as blue candy box.
