Brain teaser: There are 3 jars full of yellow jellybeans. One jar is lemon, one jar is banana, and one is a mixture. The only way to differentiate between the two flavors would be to taste one. They are initially labeled correctly, but someone goes and switches the labels such that they are all wrong. How many jellybeans will you have to eat to determine which jar is which?

1. A supply chain leader wants you to predict inventory turns for products at one of our regional distribution facilities. Inventory turns measures the rate at which we replace inventory due to sales. It is the ratio of inventory sold to average inventory over a time period. Low inventory turns indicate a weak sales or overstocking while high turns indicate strong sales or insufficient inventory. What questions would you ask the business leader to determine whether or not this is a good use case for a predictive model? 2. Confusion matrix communicating with business leaders
