CAN YOU SOLVE THIS LOGIC PUZZLE?

Question

I have this logic puzzle that i just cannot figure out! anyone want to help me?!

Galaxy center, and amusement park, has a policy that any child who visits on his or her birthday gets one free ride on any attraction and a free ice-cream cone. One day in 2503, four children (including Quasar) took advantage of this offer. Each was turning a different age ( the youngest being 8), chose a different ride, and selected a different flavor of ice cream flavor, and age?

1. Astro's age exactly in between the ages of the child who rode the carousel and the child who chose the chango ice cream.

2. Venus is one year younder than the child who had the straspberry ice cream, who is one year younger than the child who chose to go through the tunnel of holograms.

3. The four children are Echo, the one who opted for the orana ice cream, the child who went on the light-speed roller coaster, and the 9 year old.

4. The one who went into the four-dimentional funhouse is older than the child who chose the tangi ice cream; the one who are the tangi ice cream didnt ride on the carousel.

5. The child who had the chango ice cream was too scared to go on the light speed roller coaster, and opted for a different attraction instead.


Kids: Astro, Echo, Quasar, Venus
Ice Cream: Chango, Orana, Straspberry, Tangi
Rides: Carousel, 4-D Funhouse, Roller coaster, Tunnel of holograms
Ages: 8,9,10,11

Answer 1

You need to create a logic grid. There is a video tutorial at the site below

Answer 2

simple,



Astro is 10, had Orana ice cream and went through the tunnel of holograms



Echo is 11, had Chango ice cream, and went into the 4d Funhouse.



Quasar is 9, had Straspberry ice cream, and rode the carousel



and of course,

Venus is 8, had tangi ice cream, and went on the Roller Coaster



All you had to do was make a grid and use a bit of deductive logic.

Answer 3

Matt already solved the riddle, I just wanted to weigh in on your response to him. I disagree that mathematical truths such as 2+2=4 are poseteriori propostions. Statements about mathematical truths are apriori propostions. Moreover the statement 2+2=4 is true in all possible worlds. See set theory. Edit: Said, thank you for your candid and knowlegable reply. You are absolutely right there is no consensus among philosophers about the necessary truth of mathematical propositions. Me and you differ in that I happen to hold the third view. I think mathematical truths such as 2+2-4 are in fact analytic, a priori, and necessary in all possible worlds. Why? Well because of set theory. When I say 2+2=4 I`m not merely suggesting that things that 2 things plus 2 things combine additively to equal 4 things. I`m saying that 2+2=4 cannot fail to be true in all possible worlds. You said that you do not hold the third view because if we do not exist then how can it influence us. Seemed like you were suggesting that mathematical truths are contigent upon people. E.G. Mt. saint helen is 10,000 ft tall (I dont know the actual height) is true whether or not we human beings perceive it to be or not. Even if we did not exist, Mt. saint helen would still be 10,000 ft tall. Therefore mathematical truths are necessary (contigent upon nothing, i.e. humans) In a world devoid of all material matter the statement alone 2+2 would still equal 4, therefore mathematical truths are analytic - i.e. true by the viture of their meaning alone, and `a prior` justification is independent of experience. Granted, set theory is apart of mathematics but it is used quite frequently in philosophical arguments proporting the necessary truth of mathematical propostions. E.g. You may be caught in the mind frame that 2+2-4 always suggest that things of the same set combine addivitely i.e. 2 apples and 2 fruits equals 4 peices of fruit. But what happens when we combine things from opposing sets? i.e. We put 2 cubes of sugar in 1 coffe cup? Does this still equal 3? Nothing combines addivetly, but we get a new set which equals three the set of coffe/sugar. I cant solve this puzzle in one statement. But I think that since the first was solved by a tatutology (statement that is always true) then the second would be solved by a contradiction (statement that is always false. Sorry I tried but I`m not smart enough to do it.

Answer 4

This is kind of sad, but I spent like the past hour trying to figure it out and when I thought I was SO close, there was something wrong haha. I give up, but this is a good puzzle :)

Answer 5

This is absoulutely super hard. I couldnt get it

I thought i had it but i didn't.lol. I think Venus is 8 though.??..

And i know astro is either 9 or 10
