you know the point might be to to try and figure some other stuff outside of what the teacher has said... I've had that happen to me before. giving me a problem to solve but not being fully equiped. then again I"ve been FULLY equiped and still not understood what I had to get it to do what I wanted.

Step 1) Can you perform the actions described yourself? For example: can you keep track of drinks present, coins inserted, etc (with pen/paper handy)? Start the problem without even thinking about code, just behaviors.
Step 2) Can you sketch out these behaviors in pseudocode/flowchart form? If doing event-driven programming, make some basic screens. Step 3) now worry about coding. From what you've described, you need to slow down and think about the problem from a practical perspective, ignoring code for the moment.
