Homework Statement
If there were three boxes, one box is made of apples, the other is made of organes, and the last is made of organes and apples.
You are able to open only one box without looking in, and you are able to look at only one fruit inside the box. By looking at the fruit, how can you ammediatly label all of the boxes correctly?
The Attempt at a Solution
This is my guess...
If I picked an apple out of box one that means
box 1 could be either apples or apples and oranges.
box 2 could be either oranges or apples and oranges
box 3 could be either oranges or apples and oranges.
My odds of apples and oranges seem to be the best choise for box number one.
for box number two I would have to pick oranges
for box number three I would pick apples.
Is my logic flawed somewhere?
What are your guys solutions?
