Answer to Riddle 57 - Apples and Oranges

Take a piece of fruit from the box marked "Apples and Oranges." Suppose the fruit you take is an apple. Then that box must be the box containing just apples - because remember, all the boxes are marked wrong. So the box marked "Oranges" can't be the box containing just apples, and it can't be the box containing just oranges either -- so it must be the box containing Apples and Oranges. The remaining box is therefore the box containing just oranges.

If the fruit you take out is an orange, the solution is derived in a similar fashion: the box marked "apples and oranges" is the box containing just oranges; the box marked "apples" is the box containing both apples and oranges; and the box marked "oranges" is the one containing just apples.

Answer to Riddle 59 - 17 Camels To Be Distributed Among Three Brothers

Yeah, it is a problem, but we can do it with some trick. What is the trick? That is what the friend of that dead man play. The sons were sitting perplexed as how to divide 17 camels, as they could not find the way, they started quarreling. Then they decided to take advice of one their father's friend, so they went to him. He said - "It is very easy. I have one camel. If you add this camel to your camels, you can divide them according to your father's direction."

And it was true. Now the three sons had 18 camels. The eldest son took 1/2 part - means 9 camels (remain 9 camels); the 2nd one took 1/3rd part - means 6 camels (remain 3 camels); and the youngest one took 1/9th part - means 2 camels (remains one camel). The remaining camel was the friend's camel, so it was given back to him. That is how 17 camels were distributed among 3 brothers.

Two. Weigh three doughnuts against three other doughnuts and leave the remaining two on the table. If the scales are even, the heavy doughnut is one of the two on the table -- weigh them to find out the heavier doughnut. If the scales are uneven, take the three doughnuts on the heavier side (leave the other 3 lighter doughnuts on the table) and weigh one of them against another, and leave the third one aside. If the scales are uneven, you've found the heavy one. If not, the heavy one is the one on the table.
