my brain is hurting and I havent even started it yet
I don't understand is 11 the last one? Man that digital logic course really paid off.
fuck this, I'm going to be a stripper
Took me 31 minutes but i've finally completed it, that was fun.
I was doing perfectly up until #10. I always sucked at maths, and it seems to make some assumptions about your skills in this area. The statements, when literally translated, seemed to me to make no sense.

They make plenty of sense literally translated. Like the first one:
[sp]Statement G is true.
If statement M is true, then the truth of statement G implies the truth of statement A.
Statement M is true.
Therefore...[/sp]
Well this game is weird to me. Cool for a little logic and variable refresher, but the [sp]'you die no matter what' gas ending that seems to happen no matter what[/sp] is kind of.. Depressing and annoying as hell. Makes it feel pointless to even play through the game again.
I must be stupid or something, because I can't get passed 4.
It's pretty easy to figure out the logic but sometimes the placement of the blanks really confuses me, especially when the machine contradicts itself.

It's asking you to think in a different way.
[sp]If you are alive then you have to be breathing oxygen, or the rules of human biology are broken. You are alive and the rules are not broken, so you must be breathing oxygen.[/sp]
Got through it fairly quickly without errors. This is where a bachelors degree in Computer Science pays off.

That was kind of a forced one since you have no way to know if the rules of human biology are broken
[QUOTE=Lankist;36831645]The machine said two things which were contradictory to one another.
Start from there.[/QUOTE]
There's a bit of ambiguity on how it wants you to prove that. I thought it wanted you to prove that thinking something was both relevant and a red herring was a contradiction, and thus, the machine is not perfect. I didn't realize you could outright use that as one of your premises using the IF THEN statement it gives you. In the end, this is much more an exercise in mathematics than logic.

It gives you the fact that it has not been broken in one of the premises.
Only one I got kinda stuck on was 9, until it became kinda obvious.
Then 10 was a cake-walk.
