Do not post what you think the answer is. Only vote in the polls. Anyone posting what answer they think it is post will be deleted. The answer to question will be reveal once enough people voted in polls. The polls are the choices of answers in case you didnt know..
Here is the question.
If some of the pens are blue and some of the pens are in the drawer, then are some of the pens in the drawer blue? |

The Answer is Yes XD Many of you failed XD
If some of the pens are blue and some of the pens are in the drawer, then are some of the pens in the drawer blue? |

No because some of the pens may be purple, and maybe all the blue ones are in my purse and all the purple ones are in the drawer and all the red ones I shoved up your... nevermind... that means that the answer is impossible to tell! Noobs... because you didn't specify if any other colors are available, we will never know the answer... |

explain more 
don't really get it. adding a second "some of the pens" could and should refer to a completely different "some", no? else the question has some uber redundancy, and would get failed on the sat ^^

Well if some means all then the answer is yes, but clearly, some means there are others we are NOT discussing, so without having more info on the pens not listed in the question, we are unable to answer the question. ONLY SOME of the pens are blue... and only SOME of the pens are in the drawer... but we don't know if the some that are in the drawer are the some that are blue, because where are the other part of the SOME? What color are THOSE? |

UNLESS... you mean "some of the pens" as a whole unit undevided. Then "some of the pens" as a unit would be in the drawer entirely without any outside of the drawer... in that case the answer would be yes, but based on your typing of the questions, nothing leads me to believe that "some of the pens" are a cohesive unit. If you would have used "" or caps, then I may have thought this answer would be correct.
I hate you raz... |

If some of the pens are blue and some of the pens are in the drawer, then are some of the pens in the drawer blue?

So star your suppose sophisticated answer...IS WRONG. |

then the second "the" needs to be "those," gramatically to make reference to previously referenced pens. You even used "those" in your response to me... noob. show me proof. take a picture of these fucking pens.
Also - a quote from a website with this question:
In #6 it is still possible for all the blue pens to be out of the drawer.
and on another website:
c. Impossible to tell.
If we're talking a batch of different colored pens, let's say some of them are on the table and some in the drawer. Just because some of the pens are blue doesn't mean any of the ones in the drawer are. The blue ones might all be on the table.

If i buy a mixed package of pens all diff colors and some are blue
However i choose to use all the blue pens at work and none of them go in the drawer then it is no but i could also take all the red pens or take a mix of colors what im saying is it's impossible to tell because there are way to many variables in this question
