In a zoo, there are three animal enclosures: one for lions, one for zebras, and one for giraffes. The zookeeper, Mr. Brown, feeds each animal species different types of food. He gives the lions meat, the zebras hay, and the giraffes leaves. One day, Mr. Brown's assistant mistakenly mixes up the food containers and delivers the wrong food to each enclosure. Where does Mr. Brown think he has placed each type of food, and where is it actually located?
Provide a short response.
Mr. Brown thinks he has placed meat in the lion enclosure, hay in the zebra enclosure, and leaves in the giraffe enclosure as this is the correct food for these animals. However, the food containers have been mixed up by his assistant. Consequently, the meat intended for the lions is not in their enclosure but elsewhere, similarly, the hay meant for the zebras and the leaves intended for the giraffes are not in their respective enclosures. The actual locations of the food types depend on how the assistant mixed them up, but each type of food is now in one of the other two enclosures, which means each animal species received incorrect food. Without knowing the specifics of how they were mixed up, it cannot be determined precisely which enclosure got which incorrect food, only that none of the enclosures received the correct food type.
