I am relatively new to logic and deductive reasoning, so this problem has been giving me some trouble.



I want to start with an assumption of (A&B) and try to isolate a subproof where I can then get B⊃C through a conditional introduction, but I keep getting stuck in my subproofs and unable to reason out of them.



Any hints and demonstrations will be greatly appreciated!

          Assuming A&B will get you something of the form (A&B)⊃... which is not what you want. Instead, to derive A⊃... you want to start with assuming A.



          It should go something like this.



          1. (A&B)⊃C premise
          2. | A assumption
          3. | | B assumption
          4. | | A&B 2,3
          5. | | C 1,4
          6. | B⊃C 3,5
          7. A⊃(B⊃C) 2,6

My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

                    One-line joke

                    A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
