Each crate is labeled. One reads "apples", one reads "oranges", and one reads "apples and oranges". You know that NONE of the crates have been labeled correctly - they are all wrong.
If you can only take out and look at just one of the pieces of fruit from just one of the crates, how can you label ALL of the crates correctly?

ReplyDeleteorange have a smell to them apples dont os you can open any one crate so open any crate but smell all of them orange smell will be from 2 of the them 1 stronger then the other well that my guess
Well if I was stuck on an island I'm pretty sure I wouldn't take the time and label the crates. I would just eat whatever I picked. But if I had to. First I would pick out of the apples and oranges box depending on what you pick out of that box it must be what is in the box. So if you picked an apple then there has to just be apples in the apples oranges box because its tabled wrong. Then that leaves you with and apple and Orange box.because we know that the apples are in the a+o box then the oranges must be in the apple box and the apples and oranges must be in the apple box because they are all labeled wrong.
ReplyDeleteGood work and GREAT explanation, Jess! :)

To label all the fruits correctly you will first need to chose from the box labeled apples and oranges. once you have picked out of the box label it what you chose. now you are left with with two boxes so switch the labels and they will all be labeled correctly.
