When someone's proper name is I?

When explaining its proper use (ex: I is used to describe yourself)

I know that isn't a great example but I am sure you get my meaning...

Also, when refering to the letter I in the alphabet.

All of your answers sound correct, but the answer I was looking for was the one Nakranoth said. "I is used in the alphabet after H"

Your turn Nakranoth. I will post one later on today if you do not want to or if no one else does.

Just a little one from me. On a table, are placed four cards of which have a number on one side and a letter on the other. So say if you had a card that was a 6, on the other side there would be a letter, say B. Their face values are as follows:

A G 7 3

You are given this rule: "Any card with an A on one side will have a 3 on the other". How many of these cards, and which of these cards do you need to flip over to test if this rule is correct?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and tell me why as well

Sho · Postby **Sho** » Sat Dec 30, 2006 3:22 am

Two cards: the card with an A and the card with a 7.

The A would contradict the rule if the number was anything but a 3. The G is not relevant, since it does not have an A. The 7 would disprove the rule if the other side was an A. The 3 is not relevant, since whether or not the letter is an A it does not contradict the rule.

Symbolic logic trick to make things clearer: ~(P->Q) is equivalent to P^~Q. So all that is necessary to prove the rule is to eliminate any possibility of a card that has an A and not a 3.
