Apples and Oranges

4 shiney stars

There are 3 wooden crates. One labeled "Apples." One labeled " Oranges." One labeled "Apples & Oranges."

They are all labeled incorrectly. You can reach into one crate, and pull out one fruit, and by doing so, you need to correct all labels. How can it be done?

Answer:

Take a fruit from the “Apples and Oranges" crate. Let’s say you pull an apple out. That crate is full of apples. That means that the crate labeled oranges has to be apples & oranges because apples is already taken, and it is mislabel. That leaves the remaining crate to be oranges.
