Question 922639: Hi there!
I have been stuck on this one logic problem for the longest time. I am a junior in college and have seen my prof in her office hours every day for the last two weeks to get help, as well as paid tutoring services. It is not clicking for me, and I really need help with this one question:
1) ~H > (~T>R)
2) H v (E>F)
3)~T v E
4) ~ H * D /R v F
