Lol, in the other thread that was locked...

""A boy from India named, Apputten picked some mangoes... And his friend savithree ate some mangoes from apputten's collection of mangoes..."

Apputten most likely put ten mangoes in the box and Savithree probably saved three so thus there are 3 mangoes left.

I am guessing that this was obvious to the others as well but no one said it... :smile:

That riddle was actually pretty funny. I got up and read it and laughed at the sheer stupidity of it for like 3 minutes :-).
