Survey

contrapositive?
I guess this survey sorts the mathematical people from the philosophical people?

The difference between survey one or two is the presentation of the question. I randomly chose question 2, and after reading it I chose to ignore the second sentence under the pretense that it could not affect the correct answer, yet could serve to confuse me.

The variable between Q1 and Q2 is whether or not you give the example, but I think it's going to create some confounding variables. I'll be interested to hear your rationale later.

i'm too logical for this trickery

(i started with #2, spent a long time thinking about it, answered no, then looked at #1 which made me feel good about myself)

I don't understand you, I am quiet certain there is no correct answer rather the purpose is to show different types of thinking.

Yeah, I was the first one to take the survey (though I actually never submitted any results haha), and immediately recognized it as seeing if people know how to deal with contrapositions. It's really easy to see through if you have even the most basic knowledge of mathematical logic. I didn't spoiler my words, though, so I kind of ruined it prematurely. Hence my edit.

there certainly is a logical answer

statement: if happy, then smile

is it possible to not smile if happy?

no, not logically. the second one provides some sort of crappy justification as to why it might be possible to not smile, but that doesnt counteract the absolute edict of the first statement

I did only the first survey. From that, logically one would assume that the person would have to be smiling if they are happy because the previous sentence indicated that when they are happy they smile. Within the context of the stated question, there is no way the person could be happy and not smiling. Obviously in real life that doesn't apply, but this is a self-contained question independent of real life.

At least that's the way I look at it.
