You have 4 cards. Each card has a letter on one side and a number on the other.
[A] [K] [8] [5]
The only rule is that a card with an A on it must have a five on the reverse. Which card or cards must you turn over and check to see if they violate the rule?


You have four people in front of you. You have a card for each person telling their age and what they are drinking.
The rule is, the person must be over 21 years of age to drink beer.
Select the card or cards thet you must turn over to determine if they violated the rule.

[Drinking Beer]

[Drinking Coke]

[18 years of age]

[22 years of age]

Please post only your answers and no hints so all have a fair chance.

On the first one, the rule was A must have a 5 on reverse, it did not specify the opposite however..
The card 'A' had to be turned over to see if it had a five on the back.
The 'K' did not come into to play as the rule only applied to 'A'.
The '5' card did not have to have an 'A' on the reverse, it could be anything, so it it did not need to be turned over.
The '8' had to be turned over to see if it had an 'A' on the back, which would violate the rule.

On the second, the person drinking coke did not violate the rule as it only applied to beer.
The person drinking beer had to be checked to see if they were over 21.
The person who was 18 had to be checked to see if they were drinking coke or beer. Beer would violate the rule.
The person 22 was above the age of the rule and did not need to be checked.

Gets the brain cells going, doesn't it?

The correct answers are A & 8 for the first and 'Drinking Beer' and 'Age 18' for the second.

Congrats to jrc, alpp, and Joy for getting all four correct.


And exactly what prize will we be splitting 3 ways? Cool

jrc & alpp, I'm crossing my fingers for a mint condition, red '76 Corvette Stingray? Listen, I only need it for a couple days a week & a week in the summer. Big Grin

That was fun, LMM.

You son must be in the same class my daughter is?
She came to me with this same quiz Friday, I was in a rush and could not figure anything out about it(still can't). I hope she found someone to do it right, I will ask.

Joy, the budget allows for a red mint cookie. You can split that 3 ways. Big Grin

You can tell your son to ask all the girls if they have an unclegus.
