Sorry for the wait, name 10 non-dinosaur prehistoric reptiles.

 

Let's see if I can fill out that list with pterosaurs alone...

  2. Pteranodon
  3. Dimorphodon
  4. Rhamphorynchus
  5. Ornithodesmus
  6. Tapejara
  7. Ornithocheirus

Darn. There I get stuck. So to add three non-pterosaurs:

 

  1. Mosasaurus
  2. Dimetrodon
  3. Fruitachampsa

Name six members of the order Crocodylia. (Crocodiles, alligators, and the like.)

2. American Alligator

3. spectacled Caiman

4. Gharial

5. Chinese Alligator

6. Nile Crocodile

 

Name five species of sea turtle.

Yes Kasimir, those work, the only other non-penguin one is the rhea.

easy,

Name 13 members of Organization XIII. Bonus points for real names.

I see I need to be more clearly restrictive about my question as I expected ten different formal fallacies. Given a formal fallacy is disambiguated by structure, giving me ten instances of affirming the consequent should not, by any sensible understanding of what a formal fallacy is, count, as these have been disambiguated by content.

Oh well.

That's a shame. Gleeman, what you listed was ten examples of a single formal fallacy, Affirming the Consequent, which basically goes, "If P, then Q. Q, therefore P."

 

What Kasmir was looking for were ten distinct formal fallacies. To be fair, I probably couldn't have gotten that question myself. I could name dozens of informal fallacies, but only a handful of formal fallacies. My favorite fallacy is the Fallacy Fallacy, Argument from Fallacy, which assumes that any argument that contains a fallacy must be false. It's like a meta-fallacy!  ^_^

The Bonus points things tell me they're know by something else, and since there's 13 of them, and it's called Organization 13, I'm guessing the answer is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.

 

Am I right? And what is Organization Xiii from anyway?

It seems Gleeman needs to find a funny picture now.

Well, that hasn't happened in this thread since about forever (I remember many people who made mistakes in their WLIU responses who haven't bothered to do so), but more importantly, I don't think it's sporting to ask that of Gleeman. I don't really consider that an answer, but the fault is mine for not phrasing my question in such a way as to avoid that loophole. In future, I will be certain to be a bit more precise with my language.

I presume that Kas has won with that question, since it's been a day.

Organisation XIII is a group of Nobodies, emotionless people without hearts, from the Kingdom Hearts video game series. There are 13 of them, and their names are an anagram of their real name with an X added to it (if you're wondering why, it's basically a glorified tracking system they aren't aware of). We also don't know all their original names. So, the most complete list I can give...
 

Organisation XIII

1. Xemnas (from Ansem, but his original name is Xehanort, in the body of someone known as Terra)
2. Xigbar (Braig)
3. Xaldin (Dilan)
4. Lexeaus (Aeleus)
5. Vexen (Even)
6. Zexion (Ienzo)
7. Saix (Ais)
8. Axel (Lea)
9. Demyx (original name unknown)
10. Luxord (original name unknown)
11. Marluxia (original name unknown)
12. Larxene (original name unknown)
13. Roxas (originally Sora, appearance off Ven)

Technically number 14. Xion (replica of Sora, 'original name' of No. i)
 

Alternatively, from Kingdom Hearts 3D, and in no particular order:

The True Organisation XIII

  • Xehanort (Xehanort)
  • Xehanort (Xehanort)
  • Xehanort (Xehanort)
  • Xehanort (Xehanort)
  • Xehanort (Xehanort)
  • Xehanort (Xehanort)
  • Xehanort (Xehanort)
  • Xehanort (Xehanort)
  • Xehanort (Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, Heartless of Xehanort)
  • Xehanort (Xemnas, Xehanort's Nobody)
  • Xehanort (in Terra's body)
  • Xehanort (originally Xigbar who was originally Braig)
  • Xehanort (originally Saix who was originally Ais)

See the mess that time travel gets you in? :P


 
Kas thinks we're on the next question, so I will indeed ask something. Without looking it up, name five characters, each from a different universe, who are able to travel between different 'planes' of existence.

Er, I'm not sure if you meant flying in general (yay for technology and engineering), or more personal flying mechanics such as the listed Syndrome...

Bonus answer: Arthur Dent.  He just masters the skill of missing the ground when he falls.

 

I could name a few, but no where near ten.  Premier League, though?  I'd have a better shot.  Husband is a fan despite being on the other side of the pond.

I went MLS because no one really pays attention to it. Premiere League, Bundesliga, La Liga, etc. are all too easy. MLS is well known enough that someone other than me on this site can hopefully get it, but hard enough that everyone and their mother won't know it. :lol:

 

On the flip side, if no one gets this, I'm done trying to make partially difficult ones. We might call it "winning" if no one answers, but someone answering correctly is more fun.
