Hints
Solution
Incorrect
Too bad.
Which one could it have been?
Correct
Correct!
It's the yellow box. Since the black box is empty, neither 1 nor 2 put their hats into it, which means 3 must have put away her hat in the white box. The green box is also empty, meaning that 2 can't have put his ball in it, so he must have put his drum in the red box. That leaves 1, who put her ball in the yellow box.
