1) qed
QED?
Q = QUOD
E = ERAT
D = DEMONSTRANDUM
QED = *QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM***
?
* You have to say what is coming behind the
second question mark
* QUOD ERAT
DEMONSTRANDUM = which
had to be demonstrated
2) movement
What words are you reading now ?
(choose only one of the following propositions;
your answer can’t be contradictory at the semantic level and must be the most
general at the semantic level)
a) Any word you like b) None c) Plane d) The solution
I have just chosen e) Joker f) What words are you reading now
3) DAA
Let’s try to demonstrate that a Demonstration
Ab Absurdo is not absurd.
Consider that a Demonstration Ab Absurdo (DAA)
is absurd
This is contradictory with the premises since
we use what has to be demonstrated to make the demonstration (petitio
principii)
Thus we can demonstrate only directly that a
DAA is not absurd
But then, we have demonstrated Ab Absurdo that
the demonstration has to be direct
Since we can not make the hypothesis that a DAA
is absurd, in other words since that is absurd to consider that a DAA is
absurd, DAA demonstrates his validity sui generis, i.e. in the most direct way
QED
This demonstration is: (choose only one of the
following propositions)
a) Absurd
b) Beautiful c) Correct d) I don’t know e) Incomplete f) Which
has to be demonstrated
4) Limbo
This sentence ends by: “ This sentence ends by: “ This sentence ends by: “ This sentence ends by…”””
Which of the following words can not be
referred to this sentence?
a) Perpetual b) Fractal c) Auto reference d) Cycle
e) Syllogism f) Transfinis g) Retroaction
5) Syllogism
A deduction is built on hypothesis
An hypothesis has to be constantly checked
A constantly checked hypothesis is an induction
A deduction is an induction
QED
This syllogism is: (choose only one of the
following propositions)
a) Valid b) False c) Incomplete d) True e)
Invalid f) Dangerous
6) Determinism
Supposition: the Time Travel is possible
Condition: the Time Travel is instantaneous
Precision: the specificity of the Time is “succession”!
Consequence: …
Which of the following conclusions are incorrect?
a)
All the
past and all the future exist simultaneously
b)
Pure determinism
c)
Time and
time travel are contradictory
d)
All that is
possible is already realized somewhere
e)
Time is an
illusion
f)
Each of these words and your answer are
predetermined
g)
Time Travel
is possible “now” in a certain future
h)
All
potential is actual
i)
All the
Time is accomplished somewhere
7) time’s arrow
Physicists assess that there is no absolute,
privileged Time’s arrow
Consequently, we can imagine, in our future, a
universe whom time’s arrow is opposite to our own Time’s arrow
Suppose that the Time Travel is possible
How to escape to the temporal collision?
a)
Time
travel in the past
b)
Time
travel in the future
c)
Trip
in another dimension
d)
No
issue
e)
To say
one’s prayers
f)
To
send a letter of protest with the designer of the 916
