14 QUESTIONS · NO TIMER

Spot the Flawed Argument

Find missing alternatives, irrelevant attacks, and conclusions that outrun the evidence.

Find the useful constraint

A persuasive sentence can still contain a gap. Ask whether its reason supports its conclusion, whether alternatives were excluded fairly, and whether the evidence represents the people being discussed. An attack on a speaker's manner does not test the claim. A popular belief still needs support. Two events moving together may share a cause rather than cause one another. Naming a fallacy is less useful than identifying the exact missing step.

Slow down at the decision

Before choosing, restate what the question actually requires. Separate a condition that must hold from a detail that merely sounds familiar. Try each choice against the complete rule, rather than stopping at the first plausible answer. A counterexample can eliminate a confident guess faster than a long calculation. These rounds have no countdown: reading the explanation is part of the experience, not a penalty for a mistake.

A fair challenge

Each question provides its assumptions and has one intended answer. Pattern questions state their rules instead of asking you to guess an author's private pattern. Probability questions specify what is random and what information is known. Use the explanation to identify the exact step that changed your answer. Then try a fresh round; recognizing a principle in a different situation matters more than memorizing an answer letter.
