You work at a fruit factory.
There are 3 crates in front of you.
One crate contains only apples.
One crate contains only oranges.
The other crate contains both apples and oranges.
And each crate is labeled.
One reads “apples”, one reads “oranges”, and one reads “apples and oranges”.
But the labeling machine has gone crazy and is now labeling all boxes incorrectly.
If you can only take out and look at just one of the pieces of fruit from just one of the crates,
How can you label all of the Crates correctly?

Three people check into a hotel.
They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room.
The manager finds out that the room rate is $25 and gives the bellboy $5 to return to the guests.
On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to split among three people
so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person.

The bellboy has another $2, adding up to $29.
Where is the remaining dollar?
