Mislabeled Boxes
This Medium puzzle in the “logic” category rewards careful reading and step-by-step reasoning. Use the hint if you are stuck, then compare your approach with the explained answer.
You have 3 boxes:
- One contains only apples
- One contains only oranges
- One contains both apples and oranges
The boxes are labeled “Apples,” “Oranges,” and “Apples & Oranges”.
But there is a twist: every single label is wrong.
You may pick one fruit from one box without looking inside.
How can you correctly relabel all three boxes?
