2. I am in search of an
ancient artifact, just like in the Indiana
Jones movies. The ancient artifact is hidden
deep within caves that are guarded by
many traps that were set by the indigenous
peoples who used to live in this area. I have
averted almost all of the traps, but I need
your help with this one.
3. There are 2 boxes,
one labeled A and one labeled B. The
writings they left behind have given me
some information about these 2 boxes.
Each box has a sign on it. Either both signs
are true or both signs are false. Also, each
box either contains the ancient artifact that
I seek or contains a trigger that will release
a boulder to fall on my head and kill me
instantly.
4. I have come this far. I will
not turn back now. I will definitely open one
of these boxes. Could you help me make
the non-fatal choice? I majored in
archeology, but I didn’t take any classes in
reasoning or formal logic. Here is what the
signs say…
5. Which one do I open? Why?
“At least 1 “If you
of these open
boxes has box A, a
the boulder
ancient will fall
artifact.” on you.”
