Reduce the number of terms in the following argument.
Some cookies are desserts

Some noncookies are not brownies

Thus, Some brownies are desserts

anyone good at logic that wants to help a brother out

>implying that is an argument

Logic classes do not give these kind of sentances as "arguments", no one is arguing shit.

These are just "test" sentances for the studnets to test there logic ability on. ie, can they reduce or simply the sentances, or find relations between them. The actual subejct matter of the sentances is not fucking relavent WHATSOFUCKINGEVER.

Go back to logic 101. This argument is neither valid, nor true.

If you can't reduce it to logical syntax, have a harder look at your logic text.

Complete non sequitir...

>> No.4376918

If you explain to me what terms are exactly, I bet I could do it for you.

>> No.4376936

some X = Y

some not X = not Z

thus some Z = Y

I don't see a way to reduce this any further without information loss...
