Question 1165999: Given the conditional "If it's on the Internet, then it's gotta be true." (Ken Jennings), write the converse

Original conditional:

"If it's on the Internet, then it's gotta be true."

Converse:
"If it's gotta be true, then it's on the Internet."  <--ANSWER  

Inverse:
"If it's not on the Internet, then it's not gotta be true."

Contrapositive:
"If it's not gotta be true, then it's not on the Internet." 

---------------------------------------------------------

The contrapositive is equivalent to the original conditional.

The converse and inverse are equivalent.

[But the converse and inverse are NOT NECESSARILY equivalent to 
the other two.  All four are equivalent if and only if the
original is a BIconditional, which is not the case here.]
