Puppies (Posted on 2003-01-30) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Here are some statements about puppies. Of course, you may not agree with all of them. But just suppose they were ALL correct, what conclusion could you draw from them?

(i) No puppy that chases cats is unteachable.

(ii) No puppy without a black nose will play with a Kangaroo.

(iii) Puppies with floppy ears always chase cats.

(iv) No teachable puppy has a loud bark.

(v) No puppies have black noses unless they have floppy ears.

PUPPIES WHICH PLAY WITH KANGAROO DO NOT HAVE A LOUD BARK

or,

This conclusion is arrived at as follows:

All puppies which play with kangaroos have black noses (ii)

Which means they have floppy ears (v)

Which means they chase cats (iii)

Which means they are teachable (i)

Which means they do not have a loud bark (iv)
