Fun with Math!

Hey kids! It's time for "Fun with Math"!

Last night I workied on this little propositional logic problem. Let's take a look:

Where:
P = Dan is home
Q = Maddy ate a sock
R = Kate made delicious, delicious Thai chicken curry
S = Maddy got sick all over the freakin' rug
T = Kate has to clean it up

1. ~P
2. Q v R
3. ~P ^ (QvR) -> S
4. ~P^S -> T
Therefore:
5. ?

All right everyone, break out your truth tables! What? You solved it already! You ARE smart!
That's right, the answer is T.

Here's the problem worked out: If Dan is not home, and Kate makes curry or Maddy ate a sock, Maddy will get sick. If Dan is not home and Maddy gets sick, then Kate has to clean it up.

See what fun math is? WAY more fun that cleaning up after a sick dog, I can tell you!

Well, that's all the time we have today for "Fun with Math". Tune in next time, when we caluclate the decibel levels of the hornking sounds the dog makes when she gets sick! See you!
