=========

In the light of a recent article (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2121428) by Tim Gowers about the difficulties some people have with mathematical logic, I wondered what people here would answer to this question.

Suppose I have four cards. Each card has a letter on one side, and a digit on the other. I arrange them so that you can see "D", "3", "K" and "4". I then claim that every "D" has a "4" on the other side.

Which cards do you need to turn over to see if I'm right?

We can't vote here without seeing the current vote totals, so I'm not sure you'll get meaningful results.
