Doubts about cards 25 and 36

Post by jatubio »

I'm not sure about the results for these cards and some numbers.

For the card Number 25 (Numbers in descent or ascend order), what would be the result for numbers like 212,232,343,434? Because they are in descent AND ascend order.

For the card Number 36 (Number is a multiple of 3,4 or 5), what would be the result for numbers like 534,552. Because they are multiples of 3 AND multiple of 4.

Right, they are not exclusive. The verifier checks one of those conditions, and does not care about the others. Which one it checks, depends on the game, it's decided at set up. Your job is to find out which one it is. Unlike the easy cards, finding a "yes" does not immediately tell you which one it is.

Thank you! I didn't realize that before. Number 36 is higher than 25, so it's a "non exclusive card".

What about Number 25? Are the cards non-exclusive from 25 onwards, or does that start at 26?

Number 212 is not on different options of card 25 it's on the second option. But instead of "descending OR ascending" its "descending AND ascending"

Sorry, I read number 25 too quickly. It means the following:

A) There are no consecutive numbers
B) There are two consecutive ascending numbers and/or two consecutive descending numbers, but not 3 consecutive ascending/descending numbers
C) The three numbers are consecutive ascending or descending.

So they are exclusive and one (and only one) of them will be true for any given code.
