There are three boxes. One box is labeled BANANAS, another is labeled STRAWBERRIES and the last is labeled MIXED. All of the boxes are labeled incorrectly. You are only allowed to reach into one box and take out one piece of fruit. Without looking into the box, how will you fix the labels?

The answer is:

If all the boxes are mislabeled then:

1. You take a fruit from the box that is labeled as Mixed, if a banana comes out it means that it is the box of bananas.

2. Then you change the label of the strawberries with the mixed one and each box would be left with its respective label.

Explanation:

We name each tag as:

B, S, and M. Bananas, Strawberries, and Mixed.

The first thing you know is that all the boxes have the wrong label.

- You put your hand in to remove a fruit from the Mixed box.

- If a banana comes out of the box, it is because it is B's box and we change the label.

- There is a loose label, but since box 2 says it has the wrong label then these 2 are changed.

Now all the labels are in their correct place with their correct fruit.

it all depends on how long the hours are. i think they wouldn't approve of it. in my opinion.
