@B100J Okay, the puzzle is logically correct. The explanation given by @PhilosophyExp, isn't. And I didn't select the yellow, only circle.

@lordpasternack@PhilosophyExp ^exactly. It's designed to deceive, no? Seems clear to me if simply explained correctly would be simple.
@giggs_boson @lordpasternack Well, the Wason selection task has a standard form. Some people do argue that it is linguistically misleading.

@PhilosophyExp@giggs_boson I found it misleading in that, if in quality control for card games company, I would just discard "duds". 1/2 -
@lordpasternack@giggs_boson It might be misleading, but actually more people get my version right than Wason reported for his original... -
@PhilosophyExp@lordpasternack@giggs_boson Could that be because some re-run the test with correct answers to re-read the explanation? -
@13bbird@lordpasternack@giggs_boson Not unless they deliberately circumvent the various checks in place to prevent the data being tainted.

@PhilosophyExp@giggs_boson If my job is to inspect circle cards to ensure they've yellow on the other side, other cards outside inspection. -
@lordpasternack@PhilosophyExp For eg, this version of Wasons, with deer and lacana tea, is far clearer: http://www.cep.ucsb.edu/socex/wason.htm#descriptive%20rule …

@PhilosophyExp@giggs_boson@lordpasternack In original experiment, were actual cards used, with actual two sides? 1/2Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@PhilosophyExp@giggs_boson@lordpasternack Maybe I'm delusional but I feel like I would do better at this with actual cards to turn over.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@PhilosophyExp@giggs_boson@lordpasternack If red card could be flipped and a shape seen, circle or square, wouldn't puzzle be easier? 2/2 -
@PhilosophyExp@giggs_boson@lordpasternack And yes I know that the point is not to have to flip the cards unnecessarily...1/2 -
@PhilosophyExp@giggs_boson@lordpasternack But in the real world one would get a trial run-thru before taking on such a task. 2/2
