In front of you are 3 boxes. One box contains only apples, another box contains only oranges, and the last contains both apples and oranges. The first box has the label apples, the second oranges, and the third apples and oranges. Unfortunately all of the labels are wrong. Your job is to fix the labels. You are not allowed to peek inside any of the boxes. But you can ask for a sample from any box. You point to a box, and you get a fruit from that box. What is the minimum number of samples you need to label all of the boxes correctly? Answer wisely because this problem has been asked during job interviews! Can you figure it out? Watch the video for the solution.\r

*Small correction: at 4:22: row 3, column 3 should read apples and oranges.\r
