A brain teaser...?

Question

If some Yips are Yams, and all Zoops are Yips.

Then some Yams must be Zoops.

True or False...?

Answer 1

False.

If some animals are cats, and all dogs are animals.

Then some cats must be dogs? No.

Answer 2

This is a paradox.
The answer can either be True or False depending on how you see things.
e.g.
because....
All Zoops count of Yips
and out of all the Yips some are Yams,
and since all Zoops are Yips, it is possible that some Zoops are Yams but then... it necessarily does not imply that that the Yams are Zoops ( so according to this the answer is FALSE )

then again .... if a Zoop is a Yam then that Yam is a Zoop ( this way the answer's TRUE )

in short Paradox

Answer 3

FALSE!! If some Yams are to be Zoops, precisely those Zoops will also be Yams. But all Zoops are Yips so whether they are Yams or non-Yams belonging to Yips is not clear.

Answer 4

depends on the case
True if some (or all) of the Yips that are Yams are Zoops
False in any other case

Answer 5

False

Answer 6

well at first i thought it was true but then i thought about it and it is false too! it all depends on how you look at and consider the wording! This is a good brain teaser!!!!
