How are the clue premises or statements to be understood in Logicball?
Logicball, as a true deductive logic game, uses only four types of statements, in both the Clues and in the Predictions (conclusions) you can make: 1. Singular statements – There is a Cat card that is red-suited. 2. Some statements – Some Cat cards are red-suited. 3. No statements – No Cat cards are black-suited. 4. All statements – All Cat cards are red-suited. However, unlike in the traditional, classical logic of Aristotle, all variations of these statements can be used (not just the A,E,I,O statements of classical logic). This means you will find clues like: No Cat cards are not red-suited. / All Cat cards are not black-suited. Thus Logicball uses an extended neo-classical logic. Also, the statements have specific meaning that you need to keep in mind: 1. All statements – All Cat cards are red-suited. This means that there ARE Cat cards in the box and all of them are red-suited. This statement does NOT mean the same as its reverse statement: All red-suited cards are Cat cards. Why?
