There are 3 cans containing different foods. Nuts in one can. Sliced Peaches in juices in another and the third can contains sliced oranges in juices. Someone has steamed off and switched the labels of all the cans so every can will have a label that is not the actual food inside it. Can you figure out which cans contain which foods without opening any?

if you shake the cans, you can quickly figure out which can the nuts are in. that will have the label of either the peaches or the oranges. lets say it has the peach label. then, the can with the label that says oranges must be the peaches, since the labels aer all on the wrong can, so the remaining can has the oranges.
