5) Drum (Played by a Child)

This brings back memories of the I Love Lucy episode where Little Ricky got the drum set and played the same 5 notes continuously for days on end. Lucy started doing her housework to the rhythm, and the high point was Ethel yelling "Fred! Fred! FredFredFred!"

"If X then Y" is congruent to "If not-Y then not-X" in formal logic. or, because I like symbolic logic, X->Y = ~Y->~X.

Also, ~Y->~X is known as the contrapositive of X->Y. A statement and its contrapositive are always logicaly equivelent.

ION, I now have proof of who I am, so I can fly.

If QUIZ is written as UYMD, how do you write HEAD?

Cindy, the code is skip 4 letters ahead. So "e" goes e-f-g-h-i and you write "i" instead, just like "q" goes q-r-s-t-u and you write "u" instead, and "z" is z-a-b-c-d and you write "d" instead .

What am I not seeing?

Stuff.

Each encrypted letter is four letters past the unencrypted letter.

eta: Nilly beat me to it....

So what you're saying is, if you cannot fly, then you don't have proof of who you are?

I was once talking to a person who lived in Jersey City, who had his Honda stolen several times, while there were much nicer cars, like BMWs, parked next to him, which were untouched.

The explaination he gave for this is that when cars are stolen, they are stripped for parts. There is a huge secondary market for Honda parts. People who own more expensive cars like BMWs almost exclusively get their cars serviced with their dealers, and BMW won't sell parts to anyone except the dealers, and hence the secondary market for BMW parts is nonexistent.

So what you're saying is, if you cannot fly, then you don't have proof of who you are?

Yes.

if "I now have proof of who I am, so I can fly" means "If I have proof of who I am, I can fly."

"The winner is....Headless Ponch!"

Oh god, that made me howl. I was just surprised that they didn't get Erik Estrada along with all the other people they got, considering he's right there over on Sealab.

I need to remember when/that it's on, though. And DEFINITELY looking forward to picking it up on DVD (it BETTER come out).

If turtles can play the piccolo, then anyone with with cowboy boots can join the kite-flying club.

So what you're saying is, if you cannot fly, then you don't have proof of who you are?

This looks like much more fun than "thinking" as proof of "am-ing" (I just wanted to write "aming" in a sentence).

There's a really nice paradox with this "if X then Y" equaling (I don't know the clever words -t uses) "if NOT Y than NOT X". It involves the things you need for confirming the hypothesis in both its phrasings - the Ravens Paradox
