Why these cards: Turning over card A would make me affirm whether the other side has an even number and card 7 to see if the other side really does not have a vowel. Hence, to test the rule one has to affirm the antecedent and deny the consequent. In the second question, i would have to interview the person drnking beer and the one who is 17 years old. By taking to the person who is drinking beer, i want to affirm the antecedent and am pnly denying the consequent by talking to the person who is under 21 yearsold in this case 17 years old.

Ok, i would turn over cards A and 7. By turning A, I want to confirm if the other side has an even number(confirming the antecedent) and I would also turn over card 7 to confirm the rule. If the other side has a vowel then the rule is not being followed.(denying the consequent). I have visited this forum agai. Ok, i would turn over cards A and 7.

Beer and 17

In both of these cases, one has to affirm the antecedent and deny the consequent in order to verify the rule.

By turning the 7 card, you may have a chance to show that it is false, but if you do not find vowel, you do not know if the statement is true of false, which is what you are asked to prove. The A may still have a odd number under it. So there is no way to be certain by turning one card that you can prove it to be true or false.. All you can say is that you MAY prove it to be false, but you are just as likely to be unable to determine whether it is true or false with one card. On the other hand, the statement does not say "IF and only if you have a vowel, you will have an even number", therefore whatever is on the other side of the 4 is not relevant, because whether it is a consonant of vowel will not determine true or false, and for the same reason D is not relevant. So you can only prove it either false or indeterminant by turning over the 7, and you can only prove it true or indeterminant by turning over the A. BTW, the reason why you can say that it is true if you turn over the A I disagree with your answer to the Watson Card puzzle.
