Find the right candy jar...

Who does not love candy? I always loved those colorful candies but I liked that one colored candy. Now I got red candy and blue candy but I like to get the red one, here is my trouble. There are 3 jars (not transparent) that are mislabeled, one jar has red candy, one has blue candy and one has a mix. Now the mix is not necessarily 50-50, it could be any ratio. I have to blindly pick candy from the jars and find out which jar has which type of candy in the minimal possible turns. How many turns are needed to find out which Jar has what candy?

Did you know that red jelly beans are kid's favorite. Have fun :)

Flip the coin...
I always loved those coin tricks and wondered how it happened. While making the coin magically disappear is definitely a mind trick (will talk about that too) but the coin flipping is mathematical. Here is an easy one, I flipped two quarter-coins and immediately announced that one came out as head. What is the chance that the second coin will also be a head?


If you were in Las Vegas would you bet on head or tail for the second coin? Have fun :)
