Another Riddle

I'm gonna steal this riddle idea from Cannabis Campbell. Sorry.

Here you go:
The king's men have come to collect the tithe, which this week consists of a crate of apples. You knew that he would require apples, oranges, or a mixture of the two, and so you have already prepared three crates which you labeled "apples," "oranges," and "apples and oranges." Now your son tells you he has switched all the labels on the crates, and your heart sinks. You only have time to reach into one box and grab one piece of fruit, for the king's men are impatient and quick on the trigger. How do you know which is the crate of apples?

Whichever one is labeled Oranges. :rastabanna:

But the one labeled oranges could be apples and oranges, which still leaves the possibility of grabbing an orange.

At least, you've narrowed it down to a 75% chance.

When you reach in feel around with your hand for an apple, sounds fatastic to me ;)

wow, nevermind, im stupid :(

Reach into the crate labeled "apples and oranges." If you assume that your son told you the truth, that he switched all of the labels, then this crate cannot contain both apples and oranges. Thus, if you pull out an apple, this must be the crate of apples. If you pull out an orange, the crate of apples must be the one marked "oranges."

Wow im smart :).

A lady before going to bed read a book for a while. After reading her book she turned out the light and went to bed. When she woke up in the morning she read the paper. In the paper she read about a ship that had sunk and all passengers died. Though she didn't know anyone on the ship she committed suicide that day. Why?

Lets see if someone can get the answer to this one.. Its a toughie
