Four. If the apples are A, B, and C, it’s possible that you could take out one A, one B and one C with three apples, but the fourth apple must be one of the three kinds.
I think your riddle is dumb because it can vary between how many apples of each kind there are. if there are 20 apples of each kind then you can pick out 4 of the same kind of apples.
@Cutz I don’t think you understand the answer. It doesn’t matter if there are more of one kind than another, just that you are guaranteed to have at least 2 of any kind. Having 20 of one kind doesn’t change that.
