Formal Reasoning (Posted on 2004-12-15) Difficulty: 2 of 5
I present to you a deck of 4 cards. Each card has on one side a letter of the alphabet, and on the other side a single digit from 0-9.

I propose a hypothesis that may apply to this deck:
If the letter is 'E', then the number on the other side is '4'.

I then drop the 4 cards on the table, and you see: 'B', '7', 'E', '4' (on the respective cards).

Which of the 4 cards must you turn over to verify or disprove my hypothesis?

you can either turnover the E or the 4, if the E has a 4 and the 4 has an E on it the hypothesis is verified, only thing is that they are repeated. If you turnover the either the E or the 4 and it

doesn't have the 4 or the E respectively than the hypothesis

is disproved.
