| You Are Incredibly Logical |
 Move over Spock - you're the new master of logic You think rationally, clearly, and quickly. A seasoned problem solver, your mind is like a computer! |
The one thing that bothered me about this quiz is that it didn't say how many I got correct. I assume I got all of the answers correct, though. How about you?

To be able to really talk about what a logic (or a calculus) means, you need to
define a model of that logic. A model is a way of associating entities in the
logic/calculus with some kind of real entity in a way where all statements in the logic about
I'm incredibly busy right now adjusting to my new job and my new commute, which is leaving me less time than usual for blogging. So I'm going to raid the archives, and bring back some interesting things that appeared on the old Blogger blog, but were never posted here.
As I mentioned, I'll be posting drafts of various sections of my book here on the blog. This is a rough draft of the introduction to a chapter on logic. I would be extremely greatful for comments, critiques, and corrections.
Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I'm traveling for work, and
I'm seriously jet-lagged, so I haven't been able to find enough time
or energy to do the studying that I need to do to put together a solid
post.
Yep, we're both spectacularly logical... but it does not help bronchitis to vanish... at the risk of sounding like a mother hen, I hope you're drinking tons of water... it helps my spouse with his fairly regular bronchial attacks, at least...
cluck cluck cluck and best wishes for fast recovery...

Q5's a bit dodgy: how many socks do I need to take to get a pair? Precisely 2, because my socks go into the drawer bundled up into pairs with their playmates (don't most people pair their socks before putting them away?). How many shoes do I need to take to be sure of getting a pair? Assuming they're randomised and I can't tell anything by touch, etc., I'd say 9, because the first 8 could all be left shoes, so I need at least one right shoe! Or perhaps the question-setter has identical left and right feet? And that still doesn't guarantee that the socks will match the shoes -- blue socks with brown shoes, yuk!
Get well, I like your blog.
I got the same score and I spent enough time thinking about them that I'm pretty sure I got all of them correct. Except for the QUIZ written as UYMD question, at which point I just guessed randomly.
When I changed a known correct answer to a wrong answer I became Pretty Logical. I did this for all the questions, so when you are Incredibly Logical you answered all the questions correctly.
For the QUIZ problem look up caesar cipher.
#5 is clearly wrong.
you would need at least 22 socks to be sure but there is no 5 shoes, 22 sock choice
Well it says I'm incredibly logical.
Oh yes, get ye to a physic, bronchitis isn't good for you.
When I changed a known correct answer to a wrong answer I became Pretty Logical. I did this for all the questions, so when you are Incredibly Logical you answered all the questions correctly.
Doesn't pan out for me. If I change from a known correct to a known incorrect, the result was still Incredibly Logical. Changing two answers resulted in a downgrade to Pretty Logical. Thus, Incredibly Logical covered both 7 and 8 correct answers.
My experimenting went the same as JP's- it takes two incorrect answers to go from "incredibly logical" to "pretty logical".
For Ben: it's a simple substitution cipher where each letter is replaced by the one 4 letters later in the alphabet. thus, A becomes E, B becomes, F, Z becomes D and so forth. HEAD then becomes LIEH.
