I saw this on an IQ test once and never worked out if the answer is as simple as it seems.

I can't remember if this is the exact wording, but it is something like:

All men with brown hair have tempers. Gregg has brown hair - does he have a temper?

Something like that. Anyone..? xxx

the question is ;
Assume that these two statements are true: All brown-haired men have bad tempers. Larry is a brown-haired man. The statement Larry has a bad temper is:
true
false
unable to determine
If all brown-haired men have bad tempers and Larry is a brown-haired man, then Larry has a bad temper. This is true only if both of these statements are true. Since the question tells us that the statements are to be assumed true, then the fact that Larry has a bad temper must also be true. Therefore, the correct answer is "A," or True.
