Answer / aspire
count the number of beans in each color first. say RED=25, BLUE = 35, GREEN = 45.
IF YOU WANT RED :
Now if you pick 45, worst situation is all 45 are GREEN;
then pick 35 the worst situation is all 35 are BLUE ;
next pick 2 and you will surely have 2 RED!
IF YOU WANT BLUE :
Pick 45 : worst - all GREEN
Pick 25 : worst - all RED
Pick 2 more : sure BLUE
Same way for GREEN too (Pick 25 and 35 and then 2 more!)
Hope easy to follow!

On the shelf you have 10 identical bottles of identical pills (let?s say there?s a hundred pills in each bottle). However, one of those 10 bottles contains cheap knockoff pills. The only way to differentiate fake pills from real pills is the weight - while real pills weigh 1 g each, the knockoff pills are only 0.9 g. You have one scale that shows the exact weight (down to the mg) of whatever is weighed. How can you tell which bottle contains fake pills with just 1 weighing?
