Andrea ws visiting her Uncle Ralph who has a large gumball collection. When she asked if she could have some, he said yes, but only if she could solve a problem. He told her that he has three jars, each covered so that no one can see the color of gumballs inside. One jar is labeled red, the second green, and the third red-green. However, he said that no jar has the correct label on it. She could reach into one jar and take one gumball. Then she had to tell him the correct color of gumballs in each jar. she reached into the jar labeled red-green and pulled out a red gum ball. Are there any green gumballs in that jar?
