night yogi
*night owls* 
sorry I didn't get back on here earlier, my day turned out somewhat unexpected. I walked for hours, it was such a lovely day. Then, I cooked a roast duck dinner which we enjoyed. Then, my mum was knitting away at her projects, which motivated me to start some new Christmas craft projects... And before I knew it, a good few hours (and 3 glasses of Tia Maria) had vanished! It's been great fun though 
moonie, my brain isn't thinking logical on that puzzle either 
can someone please reveal the answer?
squiggle, how very heartwarming to hear that your great grandson has brought so much joy to your family Christmas. I'm delightful for you 
yogi, what has inspired the new furniture? Are you redecorating? How do you choose new furniture?! I've had the same old couch for 10 years now, I really should just get a new one but I wouldn't know what to choose
I hope the rest of you had a good day, sweet dreams
Logic Problem - Take one fruit from the crate labelled 'Oranges and Apples'.
We know all boxes are incorrectly labelled, therefore the box that says 'Oranges and Apples' must have only one type of fruit in it. So we take one piece out of it and that tells us what it's whole contents are. If we pull out an orange then that's the crate of oranges, similarly, if we pull out an apple then it's the crate of apples.
Lets put the correct label on it and take the incorrect label (Apples and Oranges) off.
We now have one correctly labelled crate, one incorrectly labelled crate and one unlabelled crate.
If we put the 'Apples and Oranges' label on the unlabelled crate then the third crate would still be wrongly labelled, therefore the label from the third box must go on the currently unlabelled box and the 'Apples and oranges' label goes on the 3rd box.
Good morning everyone, I hope you are all relaxed and enjoying the Bank Holiday. It's a dry day here which makes a pleasant change. My thoughts are with those who are not so lucky and have been flooded out 
Well done EL on finding that film, warmly recommended to all. EL if you come across The Christmas Angel (I think that was the title) about a woodcarver who carves a replacement nativity set, again well worth watching.
Thank you Summer, he really is a little sweetheart and it's hard to put into words the joy you feel when only a short while ago - it seems - his Daddy also captured my heart, children are such a blessing.
Enjoy your day everyone 
Squiggle, I wonder if the film you are thinking of is called The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0498361/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_14 ?
Moonie, I hope you enjoy your football marathon 
I wonder if any of you know who first produced logic puzzles?
The person responsible is famous.
Answer is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_puzzle
The first logic puzzle in the book that person wrote is:
Some new cakes are unwholesome.
No nice cakes are unwholesome.
So what can be deduced from those two sentences?
That some new cakes cannot be nice.

How clever EL, yes that's the one, a lovely film.
I can just see you Moonie, so relaxed, I hope you enjoy your sport today
Squiggle, there's a long list of Christmassy films made for television on Wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...ideo_Christmas_films
and doing a search on woodcarver showed TCMOJT as the only result.
Everyone.
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Nice time here, hectic though! Spending the day clearing up the mess! Granddaughter had lovely time, wasnt raining yesterday (hurrah!) so we were out with her new skates, she still very wobbly 
She away to her Great Auntie today, so no doubt yet more gifts to open!
Have a great day, whatever you are doing
Moonie posted:Good morning Buddies
Sweet, pleased your day went so well
Me and logic have fallen out
Squiggle, if I was anymore relaxed I would be asleep
Three live footie matches on from midday so that's my day sorted
Yogi, El and Fluffs, hope you all have a great day
Don't give up, it's just a case of conditioning your brain to anylize things more closely.
The fruit boxes:-
We know they are ALL incorrectly labelled.
SO......
Crate 1 says Apples, therefore it contains either All oranges or both types of fruit.
Crate 2 says Oranges, therefore it contains either All apples or both types of fruit.
Crate 3 says Apples and Oranges, therefore it contains either All oranges or All apples.
We are told we can only take ONE piece of fruit out of only ONE crate to determine the correct labelling for ALL THREE crate.......so how do we decide from which crate to take it?
Well.....
Crate one COULD have oranges OR both fruits, if we took one fruit from there and it was an orange we couldn't tell if it was the crate of oranges or the crate of both fruits as Oranges belong in BOTH of the other types of crates.
If, however, we pulled an apple from crate 1(which is incorrectly labelled APPLES) we instantly know that that crate must be the crate of both fruits and thus the crate labelled ORANGES must contain apples and the crate labelled APPLES AND ORANGES must contain just ORANGES.
BUT.......as we don't know whether we are going to pull an apple or an orange from that crate we don't know if it will give us a definitive answer as to which crate contains what!
Taking a fruit from crate 2 follows the same scenario as for crate 1, just that the apples and oranges are swapped with each other.
Crate 3 - As neither crate1 nor crate 2 can give us a definitive answer, the answer must lie in crate 3.
It is labelled 'Apples and Oranges', but we know that is wrong, therefore that crate must contain only one type of fruit and thus whatever fruit we take out of it is the only type of fruit that's in it.

Afternoon all the bank holiday means I get an extra day off work- yay! These last 4 days have gone by so quickly, but I've really enjoyed it.
Love the apples/oranges explanation, thank you! And of course it all sounds very simple now I know the answer 
I used to do a lot of logic puzzles when I lived at home and my parents always had puzzle books laying around. I had forgotten all about it until now
skylark I hope you get your feet up for this afternoon and I'm pleased you've all enjoyed Christmas
moonie i hope you are enjoying all the sport
I'll have to give the smoothie a miss, El Loro. Pears and me don't mix!
Afternoon all.
Weather is overcast but dry. Edit: it has started to rain.
Skylark, I'm glad you had a good Christmas. I hope you get the chance to relax at some point soon.
Fluffs, it took me ages (Mr Yogi can confirm, I don't have a logical brain), but I did get the right answer to the puzzle.
Summer, we haven't decorated the livingroom for ages so it is due a revamp. We've ordered new sofas but they won't be ready till mid March, so I have time to brace myself for the chaos.
El, I like the sound of that fruit smoothie.
Moonie, enjoy the sport. Hubby has settle down to watch Rangers V Hibernian. (Skylark and I will be supporting opposing teams).
Squiggle, you won't be surprised to know, I completely agree about children being a blessing.

Maybe that's why it never stops raining up here.
I'm scared.......
It's dry outside just now, but as soon as I post this reply it's going to start raining, isn't it?

You can all relax......the 'somewhere' is here!
Both Cheltenham and Forest Green won so no change at the top of the table. Grimsby are the other team who are doing well at present.
Oddley enough, the next matches are Cheltenham at home to Kidderminster and Forest Green at home to Torquay - the reverse matches to those on Boxing Day.

Evening night owls I hope everyone's had a good day, and it's stopped raining
Evening Summer, my day has been fine thanks. How was yours?
Hi yogi that's good, did the rain stop?
mine's been lovely thank you, I can't believe my 4 days off have finished 
how is the furniture shopping going?
No. it's still raining.
I bet it has been the quickest four days of the year
Sofas, lamp tables and dining room suite ordered.
ooh exciting! It'll be lovely when they all come 
do you need anything else?
~Sweet Winter Wonderland~ posted:ooh exciting! It'll be lovely when they all come

Nothing else, furniture wise, but we'll need carpet, curtains, cushions, lamps etc.
That's quite a shopping list 
any idea what style/colours..?
I love shopping for the house, it's much more fun than clothes shopping
No decision yet, but I've got plenty of time to look around.
I hate clothes shopping, it's a nightmare.
I'm going to get off now, goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer.
Hugs for the night owls.
Let's hope the new seasons colours & patterns are really nice
sweet deams yogi
Leaving hugs for the other night owls
night yogi
Good morning everyone
Relatively sunny day here at present. Tomorrow won't be.
Ros, I saw your post about not being able to post some pictures. You mention about not being allowed to. That indicates to me that you were trying to upload pictures from your own computer/device. You do need VIP status as you suspected to be able to do that. Alternatively upload the picture on to something like Photobucket and then from Photobucket to the forum,
Summer, I hope your return to work day isn't excessively busy
Good morning everyone, some blue sky this morning, so far it looks like a lovely day. I haven't looked at the weather forecast in case something nasty is coming to spoil the illusion
Wow sounds like a brilliant shopping trip, well done Yogi. Summer I hope you have a nice relaxed day not too busy but ticking over nicely. The Christmas break has shot by but I am regarding the whole of this week as part of it so still enjoying the Christmas movies and staying 'in the zone'.
Enjoy your day everyone
