You have three barrels.

One is filled with apples.

One is filled with oranges.

One is filled with both oranges and apples.

They are all labeled, apples, oranges, and apples+ oranges, but they are all incorrect. Every label is on the wrong barrel.

You can only check one barrel, to determine what fruit is in each barrel.

ONLY ONE.

Which one do you check?


None

You check the oranges / apples barrel

If you pull an orange then...

Grab one out of the one labeled 'both'. Let's say you pulled an apple.
You know it can't be both, because you said they were mislabeled, which means that one holds apples.
That leaves the one labeled 'oranges' with two choices: the oranges, or both. It can't be the oranges, because they're mislabeled, so it has to be both.
That leaves the one labeled apples, with only one choice: oranges.

If you pull and orange, reverse it.

Wow, I check the morning after and nobody got it. You all say to check the one labeled both.

That's wrong.

I'll give you all one more chance to get it.

Also, I didn't say you had to pull a fruit from the barrel you check, by check, I mean open it and look inside it. Anything that will give you an idea of what is in the barrel, basically.

Hah, you guys suck.

It doesn't matter what barrel you check.

When you check it, you know what's in it. That means there are two left.

Since they are both wrong, all you have to do is switch them!

2+2=4, bitches.

True, but the way that the two people said to check the one labeled both would work, and is correct, they just complicated it.

Excuse me for a sec, but I'm going to be a linguistic asshole. I'll zero in on this phrase:

They are all labeled, apples, oranges, and apples+ oranges, but they are all incorrect. Every label is on the wrong barrel.

Are you trying to imply that every barral has all three labels, or that each barrel has only one label?
