A cola machine has three buttons: a Cola button, a Sprite button and another button for undecided customers that randomly gives you either a Sprite or a Cola. Each can costs one coin.
During the night, some evil cola hating people came and switched all the labels on the buttons so that none of the labels remained in it's original position.
How many coins will you have to spend to figure out the proper position of all the labels?

its not from me, but pretty interesting :)
I'm feeling vroum vroum right now..

You will not necessarily be able to know for sure...
At least, with 3 coins, it's easy to find one of the cola-only or sprite-only (the singular sort; you get the other sort with both other buttons)
But then you would have to try both of the two others (getting the same can) until one of them switches (and you know this one is the "random")... and this may never happen.
I'm feeling phd powa !!! right now..

at the least you'd need 4, if you get lucky. If you're unlucky, hell the random one might just randomly spit out just one type 60 times in a row... highly improbable, but not impossible..

being a master at "mastermind" 3 if you coin right away the random by blasting it with the first two coin and luckyly enought it serves you two different drink. and then one of the other will give you the proper placement, (birdy)

if that bitch machine random's sticked on somthing, you could spend days if it just doesnt shift. (par)

althou if its a random "sequencial" you could expect the sequence trying 4 times. (normal)

also you have 3 possibilities that needed to be proven, the prober way would be to test them all 2 times. and hope the random will shift.\
I'm feeling snafu right now..

okee so the since the label are not in their correct position he has 2 chance of getting the label setup right : lets say 3 position 3 drink 1coke 2sprite 3both well if this isnt right theyre is only 2 possibility :

1sprite 2both 3coke

and

1both 2coke 3 sprite

but your problem arises when you try to validate ...

okee i got it heheah (wow that was almost fun)

if the third button is a coke then your answer is
SPRITE BOTH COKE

and if the third button is a sprite then your answer is
BOTH COKE SPRITE
I'm feeling analyzing charts right now..

One coin is enough

Since all labels were switched, you proceed as follows:

- Insert a coin and press the label [Undecided]
- If a Sprite comes out, then this is the Sprite button

You are left with [Coke] and [Sprite] buttons
- We know that [Coke] does not correspond to Coke, so it is the really the Undecided button
- The left over button [Sprite] corresponds to Coke

... taken from where you copied the enigma
