Answer

This problem can have many correct answers, as long as they meet the criteria that the label doesn't match the fruits inside.

Here's how I'd answer this puzzle:

Remember, ALL of the labels are WRONG!

The fruits inside stay the same but the label outside definitely does not match the fruit inside. Therefore, you can use elimination method! 🌼

• The crate labeled “Mangoes” must contain apples or oranges.

• The crate labeled “Apples” must contain mangoes or oranges.

• The crate labeled “Oranges” must contain apples or mangoes.

Pick 1 random crate (it doesn't matter whichever, the point is to ELIMINATE the options!). For example, I choose one with the label "Mangoes". This crate must not contain mangoes, so it must contain either an orange OR an apple (cannot have both). Suppose I pull out an apple.

Since the crate labeled “Mangoes” actually contains apples, the crate labeled “Apples” can’t contain apples or mangoes (it’s labeled “Apples,” so it must be wrong).

❗Therefore:

• The crate labeled “Apples” contains oranges.

• The crate labeled “Oranges” contains mangoes.

To double check, we know that all labels must not match the fruits inside. This answer is correct!

In the case I pull out an orange from the "Mangoes" crate, the answer changes (can you figure it out?). You can also try this problem again, picking the "Apples" or "Oranges" box, using the same logic.

This puzzle design is inspired by Stardew Valley, one of the games I'm playing recently. It's kind of a Hay Day and Minecraft mix & has a lot of cute themes and items and quests !!
