Question

Sugar, flour, and oats are stored in three drawers. The first drawer is labeled "oats", the second is labeled, "flour", the third is labeled "oats or flour". The label of each drawer does not correspond to what is stored inside of it. In which drawers is what stored?

Answer 1

first drawer has flour, second has oats, third is sugar

Explanation:

on the first drawer, it is labelled oats, so it cannot be oats. on the second it cannot be flour, and on the third it cannot be oats or flour, which means it HAS to be sugar leaving oats and flour to be in either the first, or second.

i know it may sound a little confusing but please let me know if you dont understand

Answer 2

first = flour, second = oats, third = sugar

Explanation:

Since the labels are "wrong", we know that the third drawer doesn't have oats or flour, therefore it has sugar. Since the first doesn't have oats, it must have flour and that makes the second drawer oats.
