Personal Comment: This is so great!.

The apples and oranges Enigma!

What we know: There are three boxes. One is labeled "APPLES" another is labeled "ORANGES". The last one is labeled "APPLES & ORANGES". You know that each is labeled incorrectly. You then pick one fruit from one box which you choose.

Enigma: Which box do you draw from and how can you label the boxes correctly?

Solution: You draw from the "APPLES & ORANGES" box and whatever you pull out is what that box is labeled. Say you draw an apple. You then label the old "APPLE" to "ORANGES" and you label the old "ORANGES" to "APPLES & ORANGES". If you draw out a orange, then you re-label the opposite box.

See who got this right
