Logic test.

I got 9/10.  Last question I got wrong.

I think #5 is wrong.

It says that "no ducks are mammals" and "no birds are mammals", and tells us at the top that we should rely only on what is stated for the question, not outside knowledge. If no birds are mammals and no ducks are mammals, it implies nowhere that all ducks are birds.

No X are Y, no Z are Y, all X are Z? Dafuq?

[Dutchling]

It never implies that some ducks are not birds, therefore the statement is false.

[SealyStar]

It never implies that some ducks are not birds, therefore the statement is false.

But it never implies that all ducks are birds to begin with.

So either I'm right, or I have actually discovered an illogicality in "logic".

[Graknorke]

It doesn't mean all X are Z
It just means that it is not a given that X is never Z.

You are not deciding whether or not the conclusion is true or false. You are deciding whether or not it follows from the facts you have been given.

[Dutchling]

Yeah, I should have said 'conclusion' and not 'statement'.

I got very, very drunk last night.  I woke up this morning:

1) at 0800
2) not in my house
3) I threw up.  3 times, says the person I woke up next to
4) I have a black eye.

What happened?  I remember having a wine cooler. . .

Have fun trying to work all that out.

Suggest you talk to the person who's house you ended up at, they might be able to help.

Other than that, pray that you didn't lose anything important.

Paint some clothes on yourself and set out to repay whoever's house you woke up in.

[pisskop]

I bleached the floor.  Now lunch!  And water.  Apparently blacking out makes you forget about staying hydrated, because I have a super headache.

[OREOSOME]

I can't seem to use Pesterchum, today. I just keep getting error number 60, and every time I try to reconnect, it times out eventually.

[Helgoland]

Damn Eurosceptics almost got into the German Parliament - got almost five percent of the vote.
If that sort of thing happens more often, I'll keep a suitcase and a means of transportation to the border ready at all time

Cosplayers sent a cease and desist letter for dressing up as some carpeting.

No, it was a cease and desist to selling fabric with the same design.

Ask the owner if he needs a letter delivered?
