Yes. If Anne is married, since she is looking at George, a married person is looking at an unmarried person.
If Anne is unmarried, since Jack is looking at her, a married person is looking at an unmarried person.

So whether Anne is married or not, a married person is looking at an unmarried person...


Yes ma'am

Huey has 3 donuts, Dewey has 5 donuts. Louie comes along and three of them split the donuts equally. In exchange, Louie offers 8 candies to Huey and Dewey. What is the fair way to split the candies?

How many of these four cards do you need to flip in order to check the validity of this statement?

You are on your way to visit your Grandma, who lives at the end of the valley. It’s her birthday, and you want to give her the cakes you’ve made.

Between your house and her house, you have to cross 7 bridges, and as it goes in the land of make-believe, there is a troll under every bridge! Each troll, quite rightly, insists that you pay a troll toll. Before you can cross their bridge, you have to give them half of the cakes you are carrying, but as they are kind trolls, they each give you back a single cake.

How many cakes do you have to leave home with to make sure that you arrive at Grandma’s with exactly 2 cakes?

I think I'm right. Here's why, in my view:

Hidden: 

You need to check A if it has an even number on its back.
And you need to check 7 whether it has NO vowel on its back.

You don't need to check 6, because Vowel -> even does not imply that every even number has to have a vowel on its back...

You don't need to check B, for the same reason...A consonant could have either an odd or an even number on its back...

You're wrong. Here's why:
Hidden: 

You DO have to check B. Did I say every card has a number on one side and a letter on another? There might be a vowel there....

Hidden: 

first only 2 come to mind. 6 & A. But then I’m adding the other 2 as well because they can easily falsify the statement

Hidden: 


Dewey gave away 2 1/3 donut while Huey only gave away 1/3
So Dewey certainly deserves 7 candies and Huey only 1. 1 per 1/3.

My final answer is that you need to check all to make sure the statement is correct. Because what if 7 had a vowel or 6 has a consonant. A has an odd number or B even. Until you won’t check all you won’t know if it’s true.

Your reasoning is off. Think again.
