This IS powerful! Correct me if I'm wrong: if the result is 000, then we have to find 2 objects in 9ABCDEFG, which I think will take 5 tests--still 8 overall, as there was no #4 above.

Gotta bail; if my answer is right, someone else please start one. Have fun!

Exactly, Euler got a prize for that very same reasoning. Good Job, Nobody! This wasn't a waste, it was an opportunity for a dozen people to see an interesting challenge and for several people to invent a new principle.

I plan to stop posting proposed answers until I've reviewed one several times! However, here's a thought that might trigger a better thought: The number 17 is exactly the number you could cover if you made 4 tests with one-jar overlap. That is, if you tested 0-4, 4-8, 8-12, 12-16 This doesn't just jump up and tell me how to test them all in 8, nor does it point me in the direction of minimum-expectation test plan, but perhaps it will help someone.
