The previous answers aren't included in the new URL. So if the previous URL was "funpuzzlegames.com/answerstopage1" then the next URL would be "funpuzzlegames.com/answerstopage2" and not "funpuzzlegames.om/answerstopage1answerstopage2".

That's not what I'm saying. There's only been one correct answer this whole time but it may have been impossible to find it before for whatever reason. I think it's been possible to solve this whole time but for the benefit of the readers I've included the original pages for context just in case it helps.

It's like if someone asked, "what is 1+1?". The answers, "it's an even number" or "it' >1" are true but not the actual answer, "2".

Well there's always the possibility that I did leave something out that prevented people from finding the solution originally (which is why I re-uploaded the original post) but it's definitely not related to a forward slash, haha.

The forward slash is already there so there's no reason to delete it and then re-type it. The previous answer wasn't "/r17h". It's just "r17h".

Distinct. aaa would count as 1 and not 3.

I just changed the original post so everyone can see what the pages used to look like.

The questions were part of an old online puzzle game. The website's no longer up but I've saved the original pages and translated these three questions as best as I can to work in a stand-alone setting. Maybe I should upload the previous pages/puzzles so people have more context and are better able to lock-in a solution. I doubt it will help but who knows.

"Different" means distinct here so if the first and last characters were "3" then the answer to the second question would be "2" (the 3s are the same and the 2 is because it's distinct from the 3s).

The smartest answer by far but something is still being missed.

When someone solves it I'll comment to congratulate that person and let them know they got it right.

Rest assured that there is only one correct answer and that everyone has thus far missed something which would lead them to it.

Your answer, "r6p", only has three characters though, and the second question is asking how many characters are typed in your solution and not how many characters are in some word you're thinking of.

I haven't rejected any correct answers. This problem has also been solved by over ten people so I know it's not impossible.

There is one correct, logical, complete answer. Anything else is incorrect. It's not about the answer I'm looking for or not. You're missing something.

It's not correct.

Characters are single letters, numbers, or symbols. Some examples are "a", "7", "<", "r", and "2".

You're missing something that would make the answer distinct.

Not the intended solution. Also logical and follows Michael's train of thought as well. You're missing a clue.

Not the intended solution. Your answer is logical but you're missing something. Your answer could just as well be "b2b" or "323" or anything else where the first and last characters are the same.

Not the intended solution. abc was just an example and isn't related to the actual answer. Also, your answer is only three characters so it would be "r3p" and not "r6p".

Not the intended answer. I've edited the questions to better lock-in on the solution.

Okay everyone, I contacted a logic professor from UNC who formerly worked at Yale and his response was that, in modern logic systems the answer is "D" and that only in outdated, Aristotelian categories it's "E", but that those traditional systems haven't been used since the late 19th century.

Conclusion: the answer is "D" and Tim Wood is a vampire no younger than 122 years old.

Lol, me too. The general consensus is that the answer is "D" but Tim Wood is making an argument for answer "E", and as a non-logistician I'm waiting to see where this goes. :rofl:

Why would D only follow iff there was an Aye that isn't a Bee? Even if all Ayes are Bees and all Bees are Seas, wouldn't "No Ayes that are not Bees are Seas" still follow?

Ok, thanks a million! That really helped clarify what the problem was asking. :grin:

If the proposition, "No Ayes are Seas" were added, would D still be a valid conclusion? In the two propositions given, we can't be sure that there are any Ayes that are Seas, but I think D is valid regardless since, even if no Ayes are Seas, it's still true that no Ayes that aren't Bees aren't Seas.

If the proposition, "No Ayes are Seas" were added, would D still be valid? I don't think "No Ayes that aren't Bees are Seas" necessarily implies that there exist Ayes that are Seas, just that Ayes can't possibly be Seas if they aren't also Bees, so maybe D is still valid regardless. If adding that extra proposition invalidates D then I think E is definitively the correct answer since it's not necessarily true that any Ayes that are Seas even exist.

Thank you for the visual! That helped a lot. I was trying to do it in my head. :lol:

Ok, thanks! And if it ends up being that no Ayes are Seas then D is still a valid conclusion like you said. That's the part which was confusing me. I was thinking, "D is right, but is it still valid if it ends up being that no Ayes are Seas?"
