I wonder what would it have outputted if we would remove the “ and the rest are blue” part from the question.

Would not surprise me if an innatentive human student would answer that with the same code. After all school “trains” people to expect such challenges to be solveable. A more attenive human might say “we can’t know” or provide an upper limit to the number of potential blue balloons.
