My blog had a blog Netiquette mistake!



To all readers:


My apologies for my lapse in etiquette yesterday. Inadvertently, I had posted a blank blog. As a change of pace, please find a couple of brain teasers to fill the post. With special thanks to:

There will be another blog this evening.

The Boxes
There are three boxes. One is labeled "APPLES" another is labeled "ORANGES". The last one is labeled "APPLES AND ORANGES". You know that each is labeled incorrectly. You may ask me to pick one fruit from one box which you choose.



How can you label the boxes correctly?
Solution:





Pick from the one labeled "Apples & Oranges". This box must contain either only apples or only oranges.
E.g. if you find an Orange, label the box Orange, then change the Oranges box to Apples, and the Apples box to "Apples & Oranges."

The Double Jeopardy Doors
You are trapped in a room with two doors. One leads to certain death and the other leads to freedom. You don't know which is which.

There are two robots guarding the doors. They will let you choose one door but upon doing so you must go through it.
You can, however, ask one robot one question. The problem is one robot always tells the truth ,the other always lies and you don't know which is which.
What is the question you ask?

 The two robots know each others personality. That they talk when they're bored, lonely, etc. Try to get the two robots to cancel their evil & good ways out. Solution: Ask one robot what the other robot would say, if it was asked which door was safe. Then go through the other door.
