A Fruity Kind of Problem (Posted on 2005-08-10) Difficulty: 1 of 5
When Levik was a young man he spent a summer working as a stockboy for a large grocery store. It was a rather strange grocery store, however, and they had a very peculiar way of arranging the fruit.

In one group you would find any of the following fruits:
apple, banana, grape, and orange.

In a different area you would find fruits like:
mango, nectarine, peach, and pear.

One day a new crate of fruit arrived and Levik wasn't sure where to put it. Where would you put a crate labeled strawberry?

Solution: (Hide)
The letters a, b, d, e, g, o, p, and q have a closed loop, all other letters have none (yes a capital B does have 2, but we're working only with lower case letters in this puzzle.)

apple, banana, grape, and orange have a total of four closed loops, the other listed fruits have three. strawberry has three closed loops so you place the strawberry crate with the mango, nectarine, peach, and pear, group.
