Well-intended advice for tackling TFNPTT questions (True, False, Not Possible to Tell)


Well-intended Advice:


● For True statements, circle the facts from your observation or calculation to justify


● For False statements, circle the non-facts and 

   ○ State what the facts ought to be or

   ○ Cite numerical inconsistencies that doomed the statement to falsehood. (eg. when certain numbers have to be odd, or say multiples of 3 etc, as dictated by certain ratios as stated in the question, and yet are inconsistent)


● For Not Possible to Tell (NPTT) statements, circle the ambiguous word/clause and cite other possibilities to satisfy the claim of the statement.* 

*Usually statements that are deemed NPTT can have more than one possibility. It is  flagged out as "not possible to tell" as there is not enough information to confirm the statement to be True or False.
