LSATS
On Thursday John is going to accomplish exactly seven tasks: Drink 10 Pots of Coffee (D), Take 2 Complete LSAT exams (L1 and L2), Break-down in tears (B), Fly to Washington DC for a Model UN Conference (F), Miss work (M), and Iron Dress Shirts (I). John will accomplish these tasks between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, in accordance with the following rules:
Either three or four of the tasks must be accomplished in the AM.
John cannot Drink Ten Pots of Coffee in the same hour he Flies to Washington DC.
John must Take one of the LSAT exams in Washington DC.
If John Irons Dress Shirts in the Morning he must Break Down in Tears in the Morning.
John must Miss work in the Afternoon.
1. What is a complete list of tasks John could complete in the Morning?
2. If a plane to Washington must seperate John's taking the first LSAT and Ironing Dress Shirts, how many tasks will John Complete in the Afternoon?
3. If Rule 5 is suspended, what activity must John copmplete in the Morning?
The previous Logic Game is a Logically accurate rewording of a real LSAT logic game. Answers will be posted December 4th.
Quote of the Day: (Brace yourself, this one is for people who think Field Goals are part of Basketball.)
Wittgenstein's philosophy requires us to "think in a new way," and hence its great difficulty. He is the first philosopher who is really outside of modern philosophy - that is, outside the philosophy of the last three hundred years. In an exact way he is the first philosopher of our time who is not a Cartesian.
We have heard this before about other philosophers. It has indeed been fashionable for a long time, on various provocationsm, to sound the death-knell for Cartesianism. But when the noise abates, the patient is found to be still there, gasping but alive. Why is it any different this time?
We will see that is different. This time the patient is gone, and the entire situation is changed. It is as if someone else has taken over the institution.
