#28) Logic Puzzles

Image
  Hello, and welcome back to Always Be Better with Mel Windham. Today we're going to be talking about logic puzzles. If you've been following along, I've been teaching fundamental concepts of logic. And I suggest if you haven't already, take a look -- here is the series so far in logic. Or, if you feel adventurous you can go ahead and keep watching and see what you already know about logic. Well let's hop right in. Who's ready for some logic puzzles? The logic puzzle demo is very visual, so watching the video is strongly recommended. What follows is a summary of the principles taught during the video. We can go to  https://logic.puzzlebaron.com  to play random logic grid puzzles.

Following is the transcript for the above video. As this installment relies heavily on visual hijinks, I highly recommend watching instead of reading. But for those of you who prefer the written word ... here you go ... [Episode starts in the usual Mel's Desk setting.] Hello and welcome back to "Always Be Better" with Mel Windham. Today I have a treat. We're going to check out a local small business called Wieners and Losers, something you've got to see to believe. We're going to talk with the owner and get a small tour. And as usual, you'll never know what's going to happen. I'd say more, but why talk when we can hurry up and get there? [Mel gets up and walks away from the camera. He's wearing sweats below his nice shirt. He turns to the camera.] Wait a minute -- I can't go looking like this. [His clothes magically change to a Wieners and Losers shirt.] Well, that's more like it! Okay. Let's go. [He runs out the door. He gets in m
