True or False

[mindcrasherTheFox]

uggh going to go in like how i do my math tests false


next poster is lazy like me and no figure out stuff on there on

[Tyga]

False.......they're by the table


Next person thinks anoni is a computer

[anoni]

Well considering I believe brains are like computers, I guess true?

Next poster believes that they are special in some way

[Tyga]

Of course I do, all tigers are special, therefore true




Next agrees with this

[anoni]

Why of course!

Next poster is saddened by the fact that there are probably more tiger fursona's than there are tigers.

[Trixsie Vixen]

True, but I hadn't considered it until now


Next fur can find the flaw in Anoni's riddle 6 posts earlier showing that the keys are not necessarily by the table.

[Vulpatrino]

False, unless you're implying that if one thing didn't happen, the other thing could still have been left up to chance.


Next fur can help me out with this conundrum.

True Point 4 - If the keys are by the refrigerator, The phone didn't ring.  However this doe not imply that if keys are not by the refrigerator then the phone did ring. 

So the counter example is the keys are not on the table and the phone didn't ring.


Next can explain modus tollens and why point 4 is not actually an example of it as it first appears.

Yep, when I was writing it I noticed the flaws but posted it anyway to see if anyone would pick up on it xD

The flaws are
1. What trixie said
2. The phone didn't ring, that doesn't necessarily mean Billy checked his mail
3. Not checking the mail doesn't necessarily mean Billy forget the keys


Modus Tollens is a method of proof that says, for two logical statements p and q if
p -> q (p implies q)
~p (Not p)
~q (Not q)

However, this is for a p and q such that if and only if p, then q. In this case this isn't "if and only if", this is just "if" which essentially means "true in this circumstance" not "ONLY true in this circumstance".

A better question.

Assuming ONLY the first two statements (nothing else), is the third statement necessarily true? (IE: Can you prove the third statement true, only by the first two statements).


1) All knives are borks
2) Some borks are forks
3) Some knives are forks. (True or False?)

[Trixsie Vixen]

False I cannot prove the 3rd statement.


Some knives may be forks (and indeed borks) but since not all borks are knives (that we know of) it is not necessarily true.






All sporks are equal, brand name Splayds are just elitism. T of F?

[anoni]

True

We are the Splayd class, you wouldn't understand.

For all propositions, there is a proof to say either that proposition is true or false.

...true or false? XDDD

[mindcrasherTheFox]

true

next poster is really gangster

[anoni]

false

next poster is white and nerdy

[Vulpatrino]

With all the truth of a thousand daughters of Athena!


Next fur can tell me the name of a daughter of Athena.

[hdrgn]

False
