Question: Guessing Contest
In a contest, five fruits (an apple, a banana, an orange, a strawberry and a pear) have been placed in five closed boxes (one fruit per box). People may guess which fruit is in which box. 107 people participate in the contest. When the boxes are opened, it turns out that 40 people have guessed none of the fruits correctly, 30 people have guessed one fruit correctly, 20 people have guessed two fruits correctly and 10 people have guessed three fruit correctly.
How many people have guessed four fruits correctly and how many people have guessed all the fruits correctly?

Something doing wid Fibo/Percentage levels BUT just cannot point a finger to it.
Goes this way ...
107 total.
40 Out = 40/107*100=38%
67 Correct (at least 1 choice)=62%
Now out of 67
30 guess one fruit=30/67*100=45% (27% of 107)
20 guess two fruit=20/67*100=30% (54% of balance 37) (18% of 107)
10 guess three fruit=10/67*100=15% (59% of balance 17) (9% of 107)
BUT as a guess I would say 5 ppl of the balance 7ppl would guess 4 correct being 71% of balance and 4.5% of total
and 2 ppl guess all correct being 100% of balance 2 and 1.8% of total 107.
