Question 2

Five soldiers line up by height tallest to shortest: A, B, C, D, E. Who is the median height?

C

Answer

With five people ranked 1–5, the middle (median) position is the third, which is C.

Question 3

A mission requires at least 4 personnel. There are 3 available. What is the outcome?

Accepted Answer

The mission cannot proceed

Answer

The requirement of at least 4 is not met with only 3 personnel, so the mission cannot proceed.

Question 4

Intelligence report A says the bridge is intact; report B says it is destroyed. Both cannot be correct. What is the logical status?

At least one is false

Answer

Two contradictory statements cannot both be true; at least one of them must be false.

14 is an even number, so the odd-day deployment rule does not apply today.
