Five schoolgirls sat for an examination. Their parents – so they thought – showed an undue degree of interest in the result. They therefore agreed that, in writing home about the examination, each girl should make one true statement and one untrue one. The following are the relevant passages from their letters: Betty Kitty was 2nd I was 3rd Ethel I was on top Joan was 2nd Joan I was 3rd Ethel was last Kitty I came out 2nd Mary was only 4th Mary I was 4th Betty was 1stWrite a prolog program to solve this puzzle. A completely working solution is required for extra points, i.e. all or nothing proposition.
Predicate calculus, converting from english to logic.
Let H(p,d) be the predicate to person (p) has dog (d)
1. Not all people have dogs
2. There's a person that does not have every dog
3. There's a person who has a dog
4. There's a person who doesn't have a dog
5. All people have a dog
6. There's no dog that a person doesn't have
7. All people have all dogs
Logical and mathematical truths cannot be proven by science. Science presupposes logic and math; consequently, we must accept (trust?) that logic and mathematics express many truths, despite not being able in principle to ascertain those truths.
Notions such as there are other minds other than my own or the external world is real are rational beliefs, but they cannot be scientifically proven. Ethical beliefs and values are not scientifically provable. Aesthetic judgments, too, cannot be shown by science because the beautiful, like the good, cannot be scientifically proven. Furthermore, science itself cannot be justified by the scientific method.
Science is infused with assumptions that must be accepted but cannot be proven. For example, the special theory of relativity relies on the assumption that the speed of light is constant in a one-way direction between points A and B. But such a notion cannot be proven. We simply have to presuppose that notion in order to hold to the theory.…

An extreme form of moral skepticism is called ethical subjectivism: Moral judgments merely express feelings and attitudes, not beliefs that can be justified or unjustified by appeal to moral reasons. The most famous version of ethical subjectivism is called emotivism: Moral statements are merely used to express emotions—to emote—and to try to influence other people’s behavior, but they are not supportable by valid moral reasons.19 What would ethical relativists say about ethical subjectivism?

- The Infinite Monkey Theorem states that a monkey hitting keys completely at random on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will, eventually, type any given text. Even the complete works of William Shakespeare. Some quotes are truly amazing. Consider the famous quote, "BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT" That's 26 amazing characters. Suppose a monkey is seated in front of a KEYBOARD WITH 28 CHARACTERS (one for each of the 26 letters in the alphabet, plus the space bar, and a comma). Suppose the monkey types only 26 characters completely at random. If X is the number of different 26 character strings it could have typed, then the chances that it typed the quote is one divided by X. What is X?arrow_forwardEven an objective computer software can struggle with judging rules.

In particular, if professionals are sufficiently powerful to pursue their desires without being caught for malfeasance, why should they care about the good of the wider public?arrow_forward
