FWIW-
We had trouble with regular M&Ms but the Valentines Peanut M&Ms worked well (Three colors; read, white and pink).
Told the kids they had to eat our mistakes. I think that may have been counter-productive...

Thanks for the info.
Actually, I tested the program and the sorter with the M&Ms that are available here in Germany. I didn't know that there might be different sizes in the States.

Just for our information Matthias,
What is the bag color of the M&M's you get over there?
We have M&M's in brown packages, which are made out of chocolate and a colored layer around them. We also have M&M's in yellow packages which have peanuts inside the chocolate. Therefore, these are way bigger.
What should we use?
(P.S We can actually buy a third type of M&M's, with rice inside
, but I never tried those)

Ah, I see.
It's the ones in the yellow bag M has been designed for and tested with.
