# The 3 closed boxes [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

We have 3 closed boxes. One contains apples and the second contains oranges and the third contains apples and oranges . They have labels Apples, Oranges, Apple & Oranges but all the labels are put on the wrong boxes. How do you put the labels on boxes correctly if you can only open one box to see what is inside ?

• This is not really a duplicate as you have to choose which box to draw from. In First day of school you didn't choose. – Ross Millikan Sep 13 '15 at 21:48
