Level 15 and 2500 posts + Riddle

This is gonna be short. I just saw that I got to level 15 today. On top of that, I got 2500 posts a while ago

About a month ago, I would've been very excited about that but I'm just not feeling it today. I've noticed this a lot lately. I'm just not as enthusiatic about GS as I used to be. Maybe I've gotten a little jaded, who knows.:(

Anyways, here's a riddle. I thought it was kinda easy.

In a contest, four fruits (an apple, a banana, an orange, and a pear) have been placed in four closed boxes (one fruit per box). People may guess which fruit is in which box. 123 people participate in the contest. When the boxes are opened, it turns out that 43 people have guessed none of the fruits correctly, 39 people have guessed one fruit correctly, and 31 people have guessed two fruits correctly. The Question: How many people have guessed three fruits correctly, and how many people have guessed four fruits correctly?

[spoiler] It is not possible to guess only three fruits correctly: the fourth fruit is then correct too! So nobody has guessed three fruits correctly and 123-43-39-31 = 10 people have guessed four fruits correctly. [/spoiler]
