I guess for the same reason we don't all live underground to avoid asteroid impacts. Or stop building cities on dormant volcanoes.

Events may be catastrophic - but if they're not imminent, that correlates with low relevance to every day life.

i understand your point and agree with your fundamental principal of normative human value association as a general group behavior.

you elucidate my finer meaning
the usefulness of an emergency item that is unable to be utilized in its framed emergency situation.

Yes, let's not. :) We'll have to agree to disagree.


In other news, I had a great time out with friends and coworkers tonight...TGIF! :smile:

At most, only one of these statements can be true, because if two were true they would contradict one another.

Suppose 5 is true. But in that case it would contradict itself, so 5 must be false.
Suppose, then, that 4 is true. If all the others are false, there's no inconsistency with what 4 asserts.
Suppose that 3 is true. That means that 3 is asserting that 2 statements are true. But that's impossible, because they would be making contradictory claims.
Similarly for 2 and 1.

Therefore, 4 must be true, and the rest false.

Right?

In computer logic, I believe, you can sometimes have more than one statement about something in a list that can be true. For example, if x = 5 and you have three statements about x, the first statement saying x == 6, the second statement saying x == 5, and a third statement saying x < 10, the last two statements are both true, and the first statement is false.
 
I may have saved a turtle's life today. I went out for a run, and saw a turtle crawling in the middle of the road. Waited for the cars to pass by, I walked behind him, and nudged him towards the edge of the road, and then picked him up. I didn't realize their shells are so mossy. Placed him in the grass, and he went on his way.

He was slippery, I almost dropped him. :oops:

Sure, because X< 10 holds true for multiple values.

In the riddle, that would be the equivalent of "at least 3 of these statements are false." which does not exclude other statements' truth/falsehood.
But the riddle doesn't do that. It makes 5 statements that are all exclusive of other statements.
 
Going to experiment with photography this afternoon, maybe in the rain. I've never taken nature pics in the rain. :smile:
