From the page: "a) Water is a molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. b) Every observation or examination by microscope has confirmed this. Conclusion Therefore we can predict that every future examination of this molecule will reveal the same chemical composition.&quo...

100% logical

They got #15 wrong. 15. They waffled about it a little, but if a water molecule is not shaped like a water molecule, IT IS NOT A WATER MOLECULE. EDIT: I misread #5. It's completely right.

My issue with number 15 is not the same as everyone else's. I think the argument is valid because the conclusion states: "Therefore we can predict that every future examination of this molecule will reveal the same chemical composition." The key word here is predict. With the given information, it is logical to assume that we can predict this. If the conclusion was changed to "accurately predict" than it would be invalid. We can predict anything we want, that doesn't mean that it will happen.

I got 100%, but I should note that I strive to and take pride in holding a strictly logical view of the world. To everyone who is arguing about #15, you are using prior knowledge. Imagine it's a 'shoofle' or a 'glench' rather than 'water' and the answer is very apparent.

Here's a logical question for you... 1.) This quiz was written by feminazis. 2.) Feminazis exhibit a more-than-obvious nature of bias and are less than reliable. Conclusion This "test" is less than reliable and is, ultimately, a waste of time. A.) Valid B.) Invalid

number 15 is pushing it

Thumbs up even though I got #15 wrong. Though I disagree with their reasoning, at least they admitted that it was controversial.

so simple and incredibly pointless.
