Three Umbrellas is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Curious Village.
Puzzle
Three identical-looking umbrellas are sitting upright in a stand. Assuming the owners don't check their umbrellas' labels, what percentage chance is there that only two people will walk off with their own umbrella?
Hints
Solution
Incorrect
Nope!
Although this puzzle is asking about percentages, you shouldn't need a calculator to finish this one.
Correct
That's right!
If two people manage to grab their own umbrellas, the third person is left with only one umbrella to take: her own!
It's impossible for only two of the three to pick up their own umbrellas.
