There are 3 boxes.
One is labeled "apples", one is labeled "oranges", and one is labeled "apples & oranges". Each box is labeled wrong. By taking one fruit out of one box, how do you tell which box is which without looking inside?

Alternate the sequence:
91 - 90 - 89 - 88 - ? -86
? = 87 (INVERTED)
Solution is 78, like Alan said.

Correct

You are standing before two doors. One of the path leads to heaven and the other one leads to hell. There are two guardians, one by each door. You know one of them always tells the truth and the other always lies, but you don’t know who is the honest one and who is the liar.

You can only ask one question to one of them in order to find the way to heaven. What is the question?

ask either of them 'what would the other guardian answer if i asked him which door leads to heaven?' and just choose the opposite door :thumbup:
