While it is impossible for the rooster to lay an egg, it was put in the data set as a fact of this hypothetical situation. Since the question is based on "if this were to happen" as opposed to "if this is a thing that can happen," saying that the rooster can't lay an egg isn't solving the question.

I agree. Also I would light the stove since most have an electric starter or pilot light and don't need a match. Bad examples.

While brain teasers can be a fun and engaging way to promote critical thinking, it's important to note that critical thinking is a broader skill that can be developed through various activities, including analyzing literature, engaging in debates, and solving real-world problems. Brain teasers can be a valuable component of a more comprehensive approach to building critical thinking skills.

You saig "A Rooster lays an egg" I allowed that for the hypothetical, as that is what I thought the query wanted. I thought you were using poetic license to make your point about the egg.

Hey, he said he only have a match without saying a matches box (thing we used to rub the match to the match box). How can he light the match? Doesn't he need to turn on the stove first and get the fire for the stove to the match and pass it to the candle and oil lamp?

It's implied that you have some way to ignite the match, like a matchbox. But it's great that you considered the logic of the question and thought critically about possible alternatives. Nice job!

Because schools don't teach critical thinking or how to be objective. Educated people are the dumbest I've ever been around because everything for them is multiple choice or textbook. Why do you think doctors/surgeons are dumb? They are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US because of malpractice. Why? They don't know how to think.

Highly. Critical thinking is appropriate to multiple situations. In particular to computing. Critical thinking within the provided examples expresses the notion of ABSTRACTION. This is the act of leaving out information that is not necessary to know, consider or factor into gaining a solution to a problem. :)

what I thought is that like you said, ASSUMING there's a gas tank, it could be lit. But we dont know that, so i crossed it out. Same for the oil lamp, we dont know if there's oil in it. But a candle naturally has wax around it, so it should definitely light up.

I found the questions kinda stupid and not really helping in improving critical thinking. There was a logical fallacy in the answer to the second question because the second brain teaser question, “Which do you light first?” implies which one of the things mentioned would you light first. The answer would be correct if the question were “What do you light first?”
