That's not what I'm saying. There's only been one correct answer this whole time but it may have been impossible to find it before for whatever reason...

Well there's always the possibility that I did leave something out that prevented people from finding the solution originally (which is why I re-uploa...

The forward slash is already there so there's no reason to delete it and then re-type it. The previous answer wasn't "/r17h". It's just "r17h".

I just changed the original post so everyone can see what the pages used to look like.

The questions were part of an old online puzzle game. The website's no longer up but I've saved the original pages and translated these three question...

"Different" means distinct here so if the first and last characters were "3" then the answer to the second question would be "2" (the 3s are the same ...

The smartest answer by far but something is still being missed.

When someone solves it I'll comment to congratulate that person and let them know they got it right. Rest assured that there is only one correct answe...

Your answer, "r6p", only has three characters though, and the second question is asking how many characters are typed in your solution and not how man...

I haven't rejected any correct answers. This problem has also been solved by over ten people so I know it's not impossible. There is one correct, logi...

Characters are single letters, numbers, or symbols. Some examples are "a", "7", "<", "r", and "2".

Not the intended solution. Also logical and follows Michael's train of thought as well. You're missing a clue.

Not the intended solution. Your answer is logical but you're missing something. Your answer could just as well be "b2b" or "323" or anything else wher...

Not the intended solution. abc was just an example and isn't related to the actual answer. Also, your answer is only three characters so it would be "...

Okay everyone, I contacted a logic professor from UNC who formerly worked at Yale and his response was that, in modern logic systems the answer is "D"...

Lol, me too. The general consensus is that the answer is "D" but Tim Wood is making an argument for answer "E", and as a non-logistician I'm waiting t...

Why would D only follow iff there was an Aye that isn't a Bee? Even if all Ayes are Bees and all Bees are Seas, wouldn't "No Ayes that are not Bees ar...

If the proposition, "No Ayes are Seas" were added, would D still be a valid conclusion? In the two propositions given, we can't be sure that there are...

Ok, thanks! And if it ends up being that no Ayes are Seas then D is still a valid conclusion like you said. That's the part which was confusing me. I ...
