But how the hell did they know my thoughts?……spooky!
14 – 93%. I missed the last one, I was really confused by then:)
I got all 15 right, but I guessed on #13. That one makes my head spin.
14 out of 15, 93%. Tripped up by the last one.
100%, and I didn’t have to guess. I guess they don’t teach formal logic in school any more.
13
14. Coulda shoulda read the horse eating one closer.
13 – 87. I got the murder one and the one about men and women understanding each other wrong. XD
14 -93%
I dont know which one I missed – I had enough reading in the test alone..lol
15! 100%!
15 100%.
100% but its not really fair. I was a math major before switching over to engineering.
15 – 100%
15 as well. I found it rather easy. My only suggestion is to not actually try to make sense out of the words. As in, replace the words with letters. For example, if all A = B and all B = C, does A = C? When you actually read the words, it can confuse you cause then you start to introduce prior knowledge into the argument.
I scored 15 = 100%.
I’m on my fourth beer.
Drinking beer calms the voices enough to take the test.
Valid. X Invalid. 0
1 wrong, but I disagree with #10. We do not know that there is only 1 Paris, so Jenny may not be in New Zealand.
I got 100%. Do I win a prize?
Y’all are supposed to be arguing about how the question about water is wrong. There’s a big controversy about that one in the comments at Neatorama.
6,40% hey Im blonde
100% …should let my gf try that. would make arguing a lot easier.
I missed #15. Still don’t get it.
11…I never was any good at these but im glad this one showed the answers.
I got 14 right according to the results. Actually I got all correct but number 15 is major BS.
100% , though the code said I got #15 wrong, I disagree.
In my education, if something is observed multiple times as distinct and given a name, that name refers to that object. Just because you find something that acts the same doesn’t include it.

Question 15.
a) Water is a molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
b) Every observation or examination by microscope has confirmed this.
Conclusion
Therefore we can predict that every future examination of water will reveal the same chemical composition.
————
Supposition a) is enough, you just defined water, water will always be that. b) is extraneous to the supposition.
even their argument says:
Invalid… If one defines water as a property that contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen only, then the argument above is valid.
Am I the only one who thinks they just said themselves that they are wrong? Isn’t that EXACTLY what part a) states as a definition?
So in my book, I got 100%, AND I had to correct their logical fallacy. I should get extra credit or something. 😉
i got 14, but i also think #15 was BS. a prediction isn’t wrong if you have correct reasoning behind it, so how can i get the question wrong? i also agree with what J.D. has to say about it, because they did in fact define water as something specific. that question should either be changed or thrown out.
