There are three bags.The first bag has two blue rocks. The second bag has two red rocks. The third bag has a blue and a red rock. All bags are labeled but all labels are wrong.You are allowed to open one bag, pick one rock at random, see its color and put it back into the bag, without seeing the color of the other rock.

Sorry how many operations are necessary to correctly label the bags

I think 1. If they're all labeled incorrectly, then you only have to pull a rock from the mixed bag and if it's red, then that is the all red bag and if blue, the all blue bag. If the mixed bag is now the red one, then the incorrectly labeled blue bag has to be the mixed bag since it can't be the real blue bag. The incorrectly labeled red bag would be the real blue bag in this case.

If the mixed bag is really blue, then the incorrectly labeled red bag would be the real mixed bag and the incorrectly labeled blue bag would be the real mixed one. Hopefully this makes sense!
