Three boxes: one labelled APPLES, one ORANGES, one MIXED.
All three labels are wrong.
You pick ONE fruit from one box.
How do you correctly label all three?

Question

Accepted Answer

Pick from MIXED. Whatever fruit comes out is THAT box’s correct label. The other two follow by elimination. — Because every label is wrong, the box marked MIXED can’t be mixed — it must be one pure fruit. One pick decodes the entire room.
