\"\"Here is another logic problem from Ian Stewart.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. No cat that wears a heron suit is unsociable.<\/li>\n
  2. No cat without a tail will play with a gorilla.<\/li>\n
  3. Cats with whiskers always wear heron suits.<\/li>\n
  4. No sociable cat has blunt claws.<\/li>\n
  5. No cats have tails unless they have whiskers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Therefore:<\/em><\/p>\n

    No cat with blunt claws will play with a gorilla.<\/p>\n

    Is the deduction logically correct?<\/em><\/p>\n
