<P><FONT SIZE=2>Oops... that's what I get for posting before finishing the first cup of coffee. I mixed up the part about which balls couldn't be in the black jar and white jar. Let's try this again:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>February's deceptively simple sounding puzzle is turning out to be incredibly difficult. -At least for me. And since my objective in presenting these puzzles is to put something out that both novice and expert coders can find interesting... I'm going to offer an alterative puzzle for the random drawing. Here goes:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>There are 3 jars. A black jar, a white jar, and a black-and-white jar. Each jar is filled with either black and/or white balls. The black jar can not contain black balls. Likewise the white jar cannot contain white balls, and the mixed jar cannot contain mixed balls.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>To determine the contents of each jar how many balls must you extract? Explain. </FONT>
