Several friends take a fishing trip every year. Each year they have a contest to see who catches the heaviest fish. The loser has to pay for all of the junk food they eat on the trip. (Second and third places are also expected to chip in token amounts.) Determine each friend's standings in this year's contest by using the following clues. By the way, in the tradition of fishing trips, every statement quoted here is a falsehood. MARTA: Mickey was first. SALLY: Marta beat Woody. WOODY: I beat Sally. MICKEY: Woody was second.

Refer below.

Explanation:

Marta - fourth

Woody - third

Sally - first

Mickey - second

Set up a matrix like this and wipe out situations as you find realities

Marta - first - second - third - fourth

Woody - first - second - third - fourth

Sally - first - second - third - fourth

Mickey - first - second - third - fourth

Marta " Mickey was first - in this manner Mickey was not first - kill first from Mickey's alternatives

Woody "I beat Sally" - along these lines Sally beat Woody - consequently Woody not first and sally not fourth . take out choices as needs be

Sally - "Marta beat Woody" - in this way Woody beat Marta. Consequently Marta not first and Woody not fourth

Mickey, "Woody was second", in this manner Woody was not second

The network presently resembles this

Marta - second - third - fourth

Woody - third

Sally - first - second - third

Mickey - second - third - fourth

Note that the main individual that can be First is SALLY

Woody is THIRD

Erase these choices from the other two

Marta - second - fourth

Woody - third

Sally - first

Mickey - second - fourth

Presently return to Sallys proclamation "Marta beat Woody", along these lines Marta didn't beat Woody, and as Woody is third it implies that Marta is fourth. This thusly implies Mickey is SECOND.

Last Solution

Marta - fourth

Woody - third

Sally - first

Mickey - second

the play romeo and juliet was one of the most famous love tragedies ever written. this love story unfortunately had a fatal ending. many people argue over why the lovers had died, was it over free will or fate?  

the death of romeo and juliet was partially because of free will. the fact that romeo and juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their families, the montague and capulet’s. this feud brought on many problems, such as the murder of tybalt by romeo. juliet knew that this might be a problem for her and romeo. juliet had said: “what’s in a name”? which explains her ill fate of being a capulet and romeo being a montague. when romeo tells his servant “ ay, mine own…show more content…

i believe they had died over the love they had for each other, strong enough that their lives could end so suddenly if something horrible had come between them, and that was exactly how it happened. this tragedy occurred within five days of the two meeting, they experienced love at first sight, got married and quickly were dead. free will became a part of this when juliet decided to take friar laurence’s advise in inhaling a potion that will make people assume she is died but will awake in 42 hours prier to when she took it. when romeo had heard the news that juliet was dead, he assumed it was true, and responded with the line; “well juliet, i will lay with thee tonight”. to me this line indicated how he feels for juliet by dying in her will. the fact that free will didn’t take control of the story; it left fate to be the murder of the lovers. fate first kicked in when their eyes met at the capulet party. when romeo and juliet spoke, their words had powerful contentment; they had such a strong feeling for one another that they could lay in each other’s arms forever. their happiness didn’t last long; there were many reasons for this, for example; the marriage lord capulet arranged between paris and juliet. i believe that the plot of the play thus far leads the audience to believe that the deaths were a result of fate. the last act will determine once and for all if it is fate or free will. romeo again challenges fate.
