BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Philosophy Odd One Out

Hi folks

I took over as the Philosophy editor a little while ago and I'm now getting the site organised with some new articles for your delectation and delight. I hope

Check out the Home page for the first in a series on the subject of Formal Logic and have some fun with this wee puzzle.

Which of the following arguments is the odd one out and why:

• If Socrates is a man then Socrates is mortal. Socrates is a man therefore Socrates is mortal.
  
  
• If Tweety is a robin then Tweety has a red breast. Tweety has a red breast therefore Tweety is a robin.
  
  
• If it is raining then the streets will be wet. It is raining therefore the streets will be wet.
  

Number two. There are other birds with red breasts that are not Robins.
