How Logical are You?

Logic. What is it? Philosophy? Mathematics? Or something else? Do not confuse reasons which sound good with good, sound reasons. Can you tell those apart?

When presented with a Rubik's Cube, would you be able to solve it? Can you see faults in philosophical reasoning? Never mind all that. The question is: are you logical?

Don't bother
At 400m away
When Bert is next to him
At 200m away
At 600m away

11. A certain gameshow consists of a contestant picking randomly one out of three mystery boxes, with two being empty and one having £200 inside. The host then takes away a box with no prize in it, then the contestant has the chance to switch or keep the box he already has. If he switches and wins, he would have to pay a £50 fee, which goes to charity. Should he switch or not?
Yes, because that is the point of the game
No, because he might regret it if he did
Yes, because it improves his chances of winning
No, because it makes no difference to his chances of winning
Yes, because the fee goes to charity
No, because he has to pay the £50 fee
