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.

My son came home with the riddle and I wanted to find a definite answer. I saw that the רמב"ן in Bamidbar says that maybe the name is Arbah, but he didn't give a definitive answer.

Can you make this sentence into a phrase by only adding punctuation (commas, periods, question marks, etc.)? You may not add, subtract, or rearrange the words.

that that is is that that is not is not is that it it is

(Bonus points if you can call me out on where I got this, if you read the same newsletter that I read :) )

You can also do something a bit deeper:
"That, that is, is that, that is not" is not. Is that it? It is.   (IOW, negating the quote that someone made that the two are equal.)

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

It is indeed trivia. But the difference is trivial.
