You're an intern at a top quantitative hedge fund. On your first day, you find a set of four portfolios on your desk, but unfortunately, the labels have been mixed up:
One labeled "Equities"
One labeled "Bonds"
One labeled "Equities and Bonds"
One labeled "High Dividend Equities"

What's the fewest number of portfolios you need to skim through to correctly relabel each of the portfolios?
