A Very Hard Riddle?!
Question: 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?

The first person who gets it right gets ***10 points***

Zero people guessed 3 correct. If you had 3 correct, the 4th would have to be correct. Therefore 10 people got all 4 correct.
28 got 3 fruits right
13 got 4 fruits right
right?
prolly not
=(
10 people guessed four correctly.
None guessed three correctly.
Yay me.
3 , and 2?
*BAH* I hate riddles.
The remaining 10 people (123-43-39-31) would have guessed 4 fruits correctly, because if you guess 3 correctly, the other one has to be right.
10 people guessed 4 right.
8 =]
is that it?!
---------
EDIT
or 10, because 10 people for the 4 fruit rite, and the those people got teh 3 fruite rite tOO!!
It could be......(at least this is what i think)
1 & 9
2&8
3&7
4&6
5&5
None have guessed only three correctly, because if they guessed three correctly, they would have also guessed the fourth correctly.
123-39-31=10
10 people guessed all four correctly.
10 got three fruit correct and none got four correct.
43+39+31=113 and 123-113= 10! AND I STARRED IT!
d g is a winner! if you guess 3 you'll get 4.
10 guessed four fruits correctly!?!?
10 people gussed four right none gussed 3 right
Nobody could guess just 3 right, they would have to get the 4th one right aswell....
Now?!?!
123-43-39-31 = 10
So 10 people!!!!!
7 got 3 right
3 got 4 right
just because the people got 3 right doesnt mean they automatically got the 4th one right. what if they missed the first one and got the rest?
there are 19 people have guessed three fruits correctly.
There are 3 people have guessed four fruits correctly......
i am lazy and horrible at math...i'll star you, though, okay?
10 peoples
10 people had got all 4 of them correct.
0 guessed 3 right, so the remainder (10) guessed 4 correctly
i ate all the fruit so everybody loses
10 People guessed 3 correctly
10 People guessed 4 correctly
there are ten people left and the ten people have two choices out of the five choices 10/2^5 = 10/32 = 5/16 = .31
3 selected 3 fruit and 7 selected 4 fruit
0 got 3
10 got 4
