Question

Gary has 23 candies in his bag. Candies come in 4 different colours: green, red, yellow, or blue (each candy has exactly 1 colour). Gary is told that if he takes 20 candies out of his bag, then he will always receive at least 1 candy of each color. But Gary does not know exactly how many of each color he has:_________

Answer 1

The maximum number of candies Gary can have of a single color is 3. This means that he must have at least 1 candy of each color before taking any out, as he cannot have more than 3 candies of a single color.

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore, we can conclude that Gary must have at least 1 candy of each color in his bag, but we cannot determine the exact number of candies of each color.
