How's that?
Picture three boxes containing fruit.
The first box is marked cherries, the second box is marked bananas, and the third box is marked cherries and bananas. Each of the boxes is labelled incorrectly.
How could you label each box correctly if you were allowed to select only one fruit from one of the boxes?
__________
Grab one fruit from the box marked cherries and bananas. If you pull a cherry, then the boxes should be labelled as follows:
1. Bananas
2. Cherries and bananas
3. Cherries
If you pull a banana, then the boxes should be labelled as follows:
1. Cherries and bananas
2. Cherries
3. Bananas
Ummm... :eek2:Quote:

A certain number ends with the digit 2.
Moving the 2 from the end of the number to its front doubles it.
Can you find this number?

My mistake - sorry!
I just re-read my qustion and realized that I was thinking backwards.

You're going to make me fight for every point aren't you? :pQuote:

Therefore, the cherries/bananas must be either box 1 or 2. Since box 2 is currently marked bananas, and all boxes are marked wrong, then box 1 must be the bananas, leaving box 2 for the cherries/bananas.
Same logic would be applied if a banana was pulled from box 3. That would be the banana box, the cherries would be box 2 and the mix would be box 1.
Sweet!!! :thumbs2:Quote:
