Look : 25 - (5*874) I have 25; I substract 5 874 times from it. I still have 25 as long as I dont do the substraction. So I can indeed substract 5 as many times I want from it, I just have to do it all at once. I'll try to explain it better : If you accept the answer that you can substract 5 from 25 only once, ok, so you can accept the same with 10. I rephrase it : I can substract 10 from 25 only once. Fine. But 10 = 2*5. Therefor you just substracted 5 2 TIMES from 25 ! The answer you gave in the first place is invalidating itself ! Damn. You need to re-count the points.

This is a somewhat related question to the discussion above, in that it has to do with how math works in logic problems.
Lets say I define the following: x = 5 x > 7 Can I then say that the follwing is true: x < 3 ? [ 05-05-2003, 05:51 AM: Message edited by: Seraph ] |

i didn't think you could have a varible used twice (aka x).
also i thought that only worked in probability. or am i just confused.

Unless you mean "hence, can the following be true", in which case the answer is no. |

Well, if you want to get into semantics the question should probably read along the lines of the following. Is this a valid assertion "For all x greater then 7 and equal to 5, x must be less then three"?

First, who says the defendent is married to the defendent's BIL's sister? BIL can also have a brother... Second, Father of son of judge does not mean husband of judge. It means person who had sex with judge and got caught Change "Sister's" to "Sibling's" and the first is ruled out. Nothing about the riddle rules out the second. Man, some people are nit-picky!
