You have three boxes of fruit which are all incorrectly labelled. One box contains apples, one contains oranges and the other contains both apples and oranges. If you can only take one fruit from each box at a time, how many fruits do you need to sample before being able to correctly label the boxes?
Dang it Camviv, you said 24 hours! I’ve been tearing my hair out all afternoon, cause I didn’t see there was a page 2. Anyway here’s my solution:
(I promise I haven’t looked at your answer)
House 1: (Leftmost)
Norwegian
water
dunhill
cats
yellow
House 2:
Dane
tea
blend
horses
blue
House 3:
Brit
milk
pall mall
birds
red
House 4:
German
coffee
prince
FISH
green
House 5:
Swede
beer
blue master
dogs
white
The farmer forms a very unusual triangle shape. Sorry if this doesn’t look too good, but…
