Jack is looking at Anne, but Anne is looking at George. Jack is married, but George is not. Is a married person looking at an unmarried person?

Make an assumption as to what Anne's marital status may be. Then re-examine the question. Is your answer the same?

@Usermemistress775,
Assume each person can only look at one person. Is your answer the same?

Thanks Kirata! You gave me "mini eureka"

Huh? Sounds like a load of BS. Just because I look at someone does not mean I am automatically looking at anyone else. Therefore, Jack isn't necessarily or automatically looking at anyone but Anne.

My answer is absolutely the same. I can assume the moon is made of sparkling fairy dust. That has absolutely no bearing on what it actually is. You know what they say about "assume". I could "assume" one of two things about Her marital status. I could either assume she is, or assume she isn't. Neither assumption changes the fact that NOTHING in the original statement indicated whether Anne was married or not. Therefor, my answer was "it can't be determined", and no amount of assumptions can change that.

Yeah............ sooooooo, hypothetically speaking, if you were to choose a favorite ball gag, which would you choose and where would you buy it?

What do you think brings you to that conclusion?

@Kirata,
Thanks for the link, I'll save reading it for when I'm at work.

Remember what happens when you assume.
