Question

Do you mind checking my last 2?

1. C & 2. B

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 1

both are correct, again nice work

Answer 2

Thanks. I have one question I haven't been able to understand, Idk if you're going to understand it- but I'm sure you'll get it.
It's this one:

Answer 3

not sure, it seems like there's a mess of information and at the same time, I'm not sure if there's info that's missing or not

Answer 4

is that first statement basically saying that all zoots are bubbles and all bubbles are zoots?

Answer 5

or just the first one?

Answer 6

No information missing, it's an analogy and you have to solve it.. I've had it before - but the question had different options.. :/

Answer 7

All zoots are bubbles, yes!

Answer 8

well if statement 2, which says "Zoots are red or blue", means that you could only pick one or the other but not both,

so if you are red, then you aren't blue

Answer 9

and if you are red and have glitter, then you must be a zit based on statement 4

Answer 10

this is assuming we have this exclusive or property

Answer 11

^That's what I got so far...

Answer 12

I think we can eliminate C

Answer 13

If all zoots are bubbles, then "If a zoot is blue, then it's a zit" is the same as "If a bubble is blue, then it's a zit"

Answer 14

"A blue bubble with glitter is a zit, but not a zat" contradicts statement 4

Answer 15

Yay, progress :)

Answer 16

oops meant statement 3, but still, C is out

Answer 17

Yes, I agree. :D

Answer 18

so were you able to get any further?

Answer 19

I'm trying, just the statements are confusing.

Answer 20

yeah agreed

Answer 21

it might help to replace "zoot" with "bubble" (since all zoots are bubbles)

Answer 22

so statement 3 for instance would be changed to "if a bubble is blue, then it is a zat"

Answer 23

ALL zoots are bubbles.
Bubbles are red or blue.
If a bubble is blue, then it is a zat.
If bubbles have glitter, it is a zit.

Answer 24

so let's assume when they say "Bubbles are red or blue." they mean one or the other, but not both

Answer 25

Correct.

Answer 26

so if a bubble was red, then it can't be blue

if it was red and had glitter, then it has to be a zit

it's not a zat because it's red (and not blue)

Answer 27

Red bubbles aren't in a category, they are known as zoots and IF they have glitter they are zits.
(I'm leaning towards statement D. Still checking other options.)

Blue bubbles ARE in a category= zats , they become zits if they have glitter.

-----
**Zits aren't about color, just about glitter.

Answer 28

yeah I'm leaning towards D as well based on what I posted last

Answer 29

though A could be right based on what you posted

Answer 30

this one is definitely tricky

Answer 31

not sure what to make of those statements

Answer 32

Option B is eliminated because zits are *bubbles* with glitter,
a blue bubble is a zat,
this option is implying that b/c it is a bubble with glitter that it it can't be a bubble!
-Evidence: Blue zats are stills zoots without glitter!

Answer 33

yeah statement 3 confirms that zats are zoots

Answer 34

so that knocks out B

Answer 35

On my explanation , I meant "b/c it is a bubble **without** glitter" , sorry..
It's still knocks out B though.

Answer 36

so it's between A and D

Answer 37

**How can you be a zit without glitter? -Is that possible/valid?
-I believe that contradicts the definition of a zit; the "without glitter" part throws me off!!

***~Are they saying the definition of a zat is "a blue zit without glitter?"
-----------
If so, that's wrong; that is NOT the definition of a zat.

A zat is a blue bubble without glitter, period- nothing more, nothing less!

Option A is kind of fishy... >.<

Answer 38

yeah I wonder if it's a case where you're either a zit or a zat, but not sure

Answer 39

A zat is a blue bubble without glitter ; BUT a zit is a bubble of ANY color that has glitter.

So wouldn't that mean that statement A is incorrect?
It would be if it said "zats have glitter"

--------
I think it's wrong, how can a zit be a legit zit without glitter?
------------

Answer 40

Why do people even make problems like this ! ? >.<

Answer 41

A zat is a blue bubble without glitter ; BUT a zit is a bubble of ANY color that has glitter.

can i quote you?

Answer 42

Yes :)

Answer 43

thnx

Answer 44

Weird.
----------------
-I really believe it's option D. @jim_thompson5910

Answer 45

yeah I think so too, but I'm not 100% sure
