There is a platter with 5 bowls on the platter. 1 bowl is blue and the other 4 bowls are white.

The are 5 available snacks, raisins, peanuts, and 3 other snacks. Raisins or peanuts can only go in the blue bowl, and the other snacks must go in the white bowls (of course, if raisins are in the blue bowl, then peanuts are in the white one).

I have problems with this problem(quite ironic) firstly - we have only 1 blue bowl and we have 2 snacks to fill similarly, we have 4 white bowls and 3 snacks to fill. The clarification I need is 1. what is that we want to find 2. Can we leave a bowl empty. 3. Can we fill multiple bowls with the same snack
