Topic Wiki

It's almost trivial, but you need to realize that you've been told that all
the labels are wrong - not that they might be wrong, but that they are.

Take from the box labeled as mixed. It is actually only the kind you pulled out.
The box labeled as the other kind must be the mixed box.
The third box, labeled as the kind you pulled out, is the box of the other kind.

@Yehuda57 maybe post a picture of the CN tower and ask him if he knows where it is

Lol, how long did it take you to think of a landmark for that city?

There are at least three one-syllable words in English that become three-syllable words by adding just one letter.

How many can you name?

(Bonus points if you saw this where I saw it today.)

Seen on Medium. I very much doubt this is used by Apple.



Hint: Read it carefully.

I've put the solution in the wiki.

I thought the solution was that there's 2 boxes inside a larger box. That technically is a solution but not the one you have.

Since the boxes are wrongly labeled, find the box that says "both". If you pick out an apple, you know there's only an apple and nothing else. And the other 2 boxes are also wrongly labeled, so each one is easy to identify, the box that says orange has both and the box that says apple will be orange. And vice versa if the "both" box had an orange.
