You've seen through my trick, 42! That is indeed correct. Congratulations!

 

Cheating!? Why I would never cheat, 42! You never said that I couldn't shine a light through the cards, therefore it couldn't be considered cheating! I solved the puzzle using logic, isn't that what you're supposed to do?

Alright, let's put it this way: The only answers I'm accepting are subsets of {A, K, 3, 7}. The answer I get should only be a single set.

The subsets of {A, K, 3, 7}, and hence your possible answers, are:

{A}

{K}

{3}

{7}

{A, K}

{A, 3}

{A, 7}

{K, 3}

{K, 7}

{3, 7}

{A, K, 3}

{A, K, 7}

{A, 3, 7}

{K, 3, 7}

{A, K, 3, 7}

 

Choose the sets whose contents have the cards you need to check in order to verify the conjecture while checking the minimum number of cards required to do so.

 

Oh, and technically { } (the empty set) is a subset too, but that's obviously not the solution.

Oh. I already chose the empty set, and I'm sticking by that answer.  I can justify my answer, but you probably won't like it, and you'll call me a cheater again.  -_-

Alright, let's hear it! How are you cheating creatively bending the rules this time?

 

By the way, the correct answer is:

*Drumroll*

 

{A, 7}

Here's why:

Let's go through the cards one-by-one:

A: You need to check this card, as if it has a 3 on the other side, the conjecture is false.

K: You don't need to check this card as no matter what is on the other side, the conjecture will remain true. This is still the case if K has a 3 on the other side, as the conjecture is an 'if-then' statement in disguise - 'if and A is on one side, then a 3 is on the other'. The conjecture doesn't state say anything about what should be on the other side if 3 is on one side.

3: You don't need to check this card for a similar reason to K: if an A is on the other side, the card has an A on one side and a 3 on the other, so the conjecture is true. If the card has any other letter on the other side, then the conjecture doesn't say anything about it as it doesn't have an A.

7: You need to check this card as if the other side has an A, then the conjecture will be false. We need to make sure this card has a letter other than A on the other side.

This is also why I couldn't answer a very simple question that's the zeroth law of thermodynamics: if all <weird name 1> are <weird name 2> and all <weird name 2> are <weird name 3>, are all <weird name 1> <weird name 3>? Stripping away the context doesn't help.

Okay! You said: "What is the minimum number of cards I need to check(The original wording was turn over but you changed it to check) to verify whether this statement is true, and what cards are they? You don't have to check any of the cards if I check them instead and then tell you what's on each side. That way you'll be able to determine if every A card has a three on the back without turning any of them over. It's not against the rules as far as I can tell.

That's pretty much the same problem, but I actually heard about it from a different video, not that one. That's why the numbers in my problem are slightly different, but the underlying logic is the same.

 

Is sounds like you basically have the question 'if all A are B, and all B are C, are all A C?'; to which my answer is yes. All A must be C as all B are C, so if all A are B, all A must be C too. Although this situation wouldn't work in reverse; if all A are B, that doesn't mean all B are A.

 

A, B, and C don't sound like words or letters to me anymore.

Okay! You said: "What is the minimum number of cards I need to check(The original wording was turn over but you changed it to check) to verify whether this statement is true, and what cards are they?

That way you'll be able to determine if every A card has a three on the back without turning any of them over. It's not against the rules as far as I can tell.

So, you're saying I don't need to check any cards if I get you to check them for me? Technically, I still consider it 'checking' if I do so by getting someone else to look at it and read it out to me. It'll be like using a camera to take a picture of the other side without looking at it myself, then claiming it was the camera that checked, not me.

You really hate yellow, don't you?

Yellow is a pretty terrible color, tbh. Everything it is placed on becomes worse. Fact.

maaaaaaybe. Ill probably play levels, not really make em.

 

why senran kagura 2 then?

Cause Level Creators are lame.

-pokes Ganny- Hey how are you doing today? I was posting in here yesterday but I wasn't really being talked to. xD

 

And because I dunno! The keyboard I am using doesn't have that thank goodness. xD But why? Who know, because they want. There are weird keyboards too that I have seen that I dunno how to type on. xD I am used to this kind of keyboard. xD

I was really exhausted for no reason yesteryester. I know there are weirder keyboards, but are there any where I can freely rearrange the keys? That's a dumb question; you kinda can, but are there any where the ergonomics don't get in the way?

Aww that is no good. Being exhausted is no fun, I have been exhausted before too. Soo. There should be some, the keyboard I have I know that I can take keys off and such. But I don't because I don't need to do that. I mean my laptop keyboard I can't though. The keys are fragile on the laptop but I usually use a separate keyboard anyway.

Its nothing but a Mario based level creator. You make levels, share them, play others, etc.

True story: I once spilled soda on my second laptop on the very day I first got it and for the duration of me having it until the day it suffered a hard drive crash, the spacebar key was always sticking to itself. And so, at some point, I started using an external keyboard.
