 |
|
In a contest, four fruits (an apple, a banana, an orange, and a pear) have been placed in four closed boxes (one fruit per box). People may guess which fruit is in which box. 123 people participate in the contest. When the boxes are opened, it turns out that 43 people have guessed none of the fruits correctly, 39 people have guessed one fruit correctly, and 31 people have guessed two fruits correctly. The Question: How many people have guessed three fruits correctly, and how many people have guessed four fruits correctly?

uhm lets see if there are 10 people leftover
tand its between gettting all four and just getting three..
so i guess this means that all 10 people guessed
all four fruit boxes right..
the reason behind why i think it to be like this is because if your were to get three of four of these hidden items, then you can automatically know that the fourth one will be the one you dont have yet.
therefore making it rather hard to just guess three of them..
and that link doesnt work.
so i cant tell if im wrong or right
