Wason Card Puzzle
Ho ho! Today I have a fun little philosophical puzzle for you that you can impress your friends with (after getting it right yourself!) It’s called the Wason card problem, and only a reputed 5% of university-educated adults get it right!
If you are looking for the solution, you can find it here: Wason Card Puzzle Solution.

There are four cards. On one side of each card is a number and on the other side is a letter, like so:
The claim is:
“If a card has a vowel on one side, then it has an even number on the other side.”
The question is:
Which of the cards would one need to turn over to see if the claim is true or false?
See if you can get it (and no cheating!)

After doing that one, try this one as well:
Now, imagine you are a bartender. You must stop people under 21 years of age drinking alcohol. Each card above represents a person and shows their age on one side and what they are drinking on the other side. The claim is:
“If a person is drinking beer, then they are over 21 years of age.”
The question is:
Which of the cards do you need to turn over in order to check which people are breaking the law?
