He was born in Louisville, Kentucky on March 7, 1905, the son of Ira William Davenport and Emily Andrews Davison. He died on April 7, 1966, in New York County, New York, at the age of 61.

Hypothesis: More than one literary critic was born in 1905.

Reason:  We have no idea how many literary critics were born in 1905.  Why: Used the birth year for 1 literary critic.


Premise: Scarlet Days is a 1919 American silent western film produced and directed by D. W. Griffith and released through Paramount/Artcraft Pictures, Artcraft being an affiliate of Paramount. Richard Barthelmess stars in a role for which Griffith had screentested Rudolph Valentino. It is considered by many to be one of Griffith's worst films.

Hypothesis: Many people have seen it.


Premise: The Coathangers are a punk rock band from Atlanta. The band formed in 2006 as a joke. After playing a house show, they were asked to open for The Hiss on the strength of their performance. The name "Coathangers" refers to a method of self-induced abortion and was chosen for its irreverent vulgarity; all of the band's members are pro-choice. They have opened in New York City for the Black Lips.

Hypothesis: Other bands have opened for the Coathangers.

The context says the Coathangers were asked to open for The HIss and have opened for the Black Lips but says nothing about whether any other bands opened for the Coathangers.


Premise: Landry's, Inc., is an American, privately owned, multi-brand dining/hospitality/entertainment/gaming corporation. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Landry's, Inc. owns and operates more than 600 restaurant/hotel/casino/entertainment destinations in 37 states and the District of Columbia. The company also owns and operates numerous international locations.

Hypothesis: Landry's, Inc., has more than 605 restaurants.

It said it had more than 600.... but there is no way to know whether it is more or less than 605. It could be 601 or 606... there is no way to know whether my statement is correct or not.


Premise: "Still Standing" is a song by American R&B singer Monica, written by Christopher Bridges, Adonis Shropshire, Bryan-Michael Cox and Monica for her sixth studio album, "Still Standing" (2010). Produced by Bryan-Michael Cox, it features guest vocals by her cousin and rapper Ludacris.

Hypothesis: "Still Standing" was not a financial bomb

nothing regarding the financial success of the song was mentioned, the system assumes


Premise: "Ocean Spray" is a song by the Manic Street Preachers, which was released as a single on 4 June 2001, the third single to be released from the album "Know Your Enemy". James Dean Bradfield wrote both lyrics and music for the song. It reached number 15 in the UK Singles Chart.

Hypothesis: "Ocean Spray" was a commercial success

Nothing regarding the financial success of the song was mentioned, the system assumes this


Premise: Hausmania is a self-governed cultural house in Oslo, Norway. It is run by a group of underground artists based on collectivist ideology. It is located in Hausmannsgate 34 in Oslo and is a fertile ground for avant-garde art. Also, next door it contains the experimental music venue Kafe Hærverk

Hypothesis: Hausmania is named after the street it is located on.

The statement is just an assumption. The cultural house and the street it is located at have similar names, but we don't know for sure if one is named after the other. We can assume, but in any case, based on the information provided, the statement is neither correct, nor incorrect. I thought the system might get confused by the short statement that contains names from the passage.


Premise: All India Kashmir Committee was set up by prominent Muslim leaders of India on July 25, 1931. Muhammad Iqbal and a number of other leaders were invited by Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad to form the committee. Although orthodox press and historians attribute the formation of the Committee to Dr. Muhammad Iqbal.

Hypothesis: All India Kashmir Committee included Hindus

The narrative never specified that Hindus were excluded, the system assumes so.


Premise: Edward M. "Teddy" Sears (born April 6, 1977) is an American actor, known for his roles as Richard Patrick Woolsley on the TNT legal drama series "Raising the Bar", Patrick on the first season of FX anthology horror drama "American Horror Story" (retroactively titled ""), Dr. Austin Langham on the "Showtime" period drama series "Masters of Sex", and Hunter Zolomon/Zoom in "The Flash".

There was no mention of movies so that is not known.


Premise: Michael Anthony Woods is an English producer, DJ, and remixer of various EDM genres, mainly progressive house, electro house and trance. He is the founder of the imprint label Diffused Music, which was established in 2010 and focuses primarily on progressive house and tech house. He has worked under the stage names of Out of Office, Warrior, Accadia, M1 and M3.

Hypothesis: The very talented Michael Anthony Woods, born 2010, established the imprint label diffused Music in 2010

He could not have been born the same year he established a music label


Premise: Double Whammy is a 1987 novel by Carl Hiaasen. The protagonist, a private investigator, is hired to expose a celebrity bass fisherman as a cheat and is drawn into a frame-up for murder. The book introduced the character of "Skink" (Clinton Tyree), who becomes a recurring character in Hiaasen's subsequent novels.

Hypothesis: Hiaasen's last novel was Double Whammy

The text states that Hiaassen wrote novels subsequent to Double Whammy.


Premise: The Serbian women's university basketball team (Serbian: Женска универзитетска кошаркашка репрезентација Србије / Ženska univerzitetska košarkaška reprezentacija Srbije ) represents Serbia at the Summer Universiade and is controlled by the Basketball Federation of Serbia, the governing body for basketball in Serbia.

The Serbian women's university basketball team represents Serbia, a country in Eastern Europe.


Premise: Boris Cabrera (born December 16, 1980 in Inglewood, California), is a former actor. Cabrera is primarily known as originating the role of Marco in the live-adaptation television series of the long-running book series "Animorphs". He left the entertainment industry in the early 2000s and became a personal fitness trainer.

Hypothesis: On December 16, 2000 Boris Cabrera turned 30 years old.

Based on the text Boris Cabrera was born on December 16, 1980, which means that on December 16, 2000 he turned 20 years old, and not 30. It is obvious that the statement is incorrect. I think the system got it wrong, because the statement is very short and if only one number was different, it would have been correct.


Premise: Gillot was a 17th/18th-century French theatre manager and playwright about whom we have no information except that he wrote farces and puppets plays for the Théâtre de la foire Saint-Germain at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. We have four burlesque plays by him whose main character is Pulcinella from the commedia dell'arte:

Hypothesis: Gillot was alive in 1355.

It said he was from the 17th/18th century so he could not have been around in 1355.


Premise: Daniel Alexander "Danny" Hultzen (born November 28, 1989) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is currently a free agent. Hultzen attended the University of Virginia, where he starred for the Virginia Cavaliers baseball team. He was drafted and selected second overall by the Seattle Mariners in the 2011 MLB draft.

Hypothesis: Daniel Alexander Hultzen plays for the Seattle Mariners.

This statement is incorrect because the text says he's currently a free agent, and that he played for Seattle in the past.  It's tricky for the AI because the Seattle Mariners are mentioned in the text, and he did play for them in the past.


Premise: Terry Alexander (born April 15, 1955 in Marietta, Georgia) is the current hitting coach of the Bristol Pirates and previously served as head coach of Jacksonville University's baseball team from 1991 to 2013. He was the school's most successful and longest-tenured head coach, compiling a record of 713-590-2 record in 22 seasons.

Hypothesis: Terry Alexander was born in a state in the Southern Hemisphere

System is confusing Southern Hemisphere with Southern US


Premise: Scars of Love is a 1918 Australian silent film. It is a lost film about which little is known except it is a melodrama featuring a Red Cross nurse and an Anzac soldier which climaxes in the European battlefields of World War I in which both leads die. It deals with the sins of the father visiting the children.

Hypothesis: Scars of Love was made in the Northern Hemisphere

Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, the system does not know this.


Premise: Nick Jr. Germany is a German TV television channel broadcasting to children in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The channel was launched on September 12, 2005 as a programming block on the relaunched version of Nickelodeon (Germany). The channel now broadcasts 24/7 from March 31, 2009. Before the channel launched, some programs were shown Super RTL and Disney Channel (Germany).

Hypothesis: Nick Jr. Germany is a TV channel from the southern hemishere


Premise: The 1986 FIA European Formula Three Cup was the second European Formula Three Cup race and the first to be held at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari on October 26, 1986. The race was won by Italian Stefano Modena, driving for Euroteam outfit, who finished ahead of the previous years winner Alex Caffi and fellow Italian Nicola Larini.

Hypothesis: Alex Caffi won the FIA European Formula Three Cup in 1986.

The text says that Alex Caffi won the previous year, which would be 1985.  This is tricky because the text is about the 1986 cup and Alex Caffi's name is in the text as a winner (the winner the previous year).


Premise: Elliot Junior Uyi Omozusi (born 15 December 1988) is an English footballer who plays for Chelmsford City. Omozusi had two spells with Leyton Orient, playing over 100 games. He also played for Fulham, Norwich City and Charlton Athletic. Omozusi plays primarily at right back, but can also play in the centre of defence or in midfield.

Hypothesis: He plays for Chemsfor city

Chemsfor city is not a a real place making my statement incorrect. The model probably has problems with the various spellings of words.


Premise: The Anubis Shrine was part of the grave gods of Tutankhamun (18th Dynasty, New Kingdom). The tomb (KV62) was discovered almost intact on 4 November 1922 in the Valley of the Kings in west Thebes by Howard Carter. Today the object, with the find number 261, is an exhibit at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, with the inventory number JE 61444.

Hypothesis: The shrine was part of the gods of hamun

The gods of hamun do not exist making the statement incorrect. The model has problems with the spellings of words


Premise: The solar system is much more complicated now, astronomers say, than in 1930 when Clyde Tombaugh added Pluto to the inventory of wandering lights circling the Sun.

Hypothesis: The solar system has been studied for decades


Premise: Carl Smith collided with a concrete lamp-post while skating and suffered a skull fracture that caused a coma. When he failed to regain consciousness, his parents on August 8 consented to his life support machine being turned off.

Hypothesis: Carl Smith died.

Carl Smith's life support was turned off - Carl Smith would have therefore died. Difficult for the system because the context never actually specifically states that he dies.


Premise: Three leading Japanese banks have announced an alliance forming the world's largest financial group. Fuji Bank, Dai-Ichi Kangyo and the Industrial Bank of Japan say their operations will be integrated by the spring of 2002.

By allying the 3 largest banks, they are consolidating power in the banking industry.


Premise: She flew to Los Angeles last week, after her 74-year-old mother had a stroke, but is expected to return to Texas in a few days.

Hypothesis: Her mother had been alive for more than 7 decades at that point.

She was 74 and 7 decades is only 70 years. It's difficult because perhaps the system thinks I mean 8 decades, so it marks the statement as incorrect.


Premise: The terror attacks, it was clear, had blasted a hole in the dam holding back Mumbai's reservoir of woes. While the protesters seemed to be reacting to a tragedy that had left at least 164 people dead and 308 injured, they were really venting the frustrations of having to cope with life in a city with an infrastructure so stretched that simply getting to work and back is an ordeal. At peak hour, the commuter trains - which carry six million people each day - are packed with up to 5,000 commuters, even though they're built for 1,800. Every day, an average of 11 people die on the railway system, either because they fall off the trains or because they're hit by passing locomotives as they cross the tracks.

Hypothesis: Although terrorism was taking place, citizens still had many thigns to be enraged over.


Premise: Libya's case against Britain and the US concerns the dispute over their demand for extradition of Libyans charged with blowing up a Pan Am jet over Lockerbie in 1988.

Hypothesis: Libya wants the Libyans that blew up the plane back back in their country.

The statement "Libya wants the Libyans that blew up the plane back back in their country" is definitely correct because their major issue with Britain and the US is that those countries would not extradite those involved back to Libya.


Premise: "Child labor" is, generally speaking, work for children that harms them or exploits them in some way (physically, mentally, morally, or by blocking access to education).

Hypothesis: Child labor is terrible for children's well-being.

Considering the context says "harms them or exploits them in some way (physically, mentally, morally, or by blocking access to education)," child labor being terrible for their well-being is definitely correct.


Premise: When Adolf Hitler heard of how Mussolini was executed and put on public display, he vowed he would not let this happen to him. Hitler shot his mistress and new wife, Eva Braunn, and then swallowing some poison, he shot himself in the mouth.

Hypothesis: Mussolini did not commit suicide.

Mussolini was executed, so he could not have committed suicide.  Hitler is the one who committed suicide.


Premise: The land claims agreement must still be approved by the Canadian House of Commons , but has already passed through the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Hypothesis: American house of commons is not mentioned

It is not mentioned obviously, only the Canadian house of commons is mentioned.


Premise: The recent 14% hike in third class postage rates, accompanied by simultaneous double-digit paper price increases, has hit smaller catalogers especially hard.

Hypothesis: Smaller catalogers are hit harder than bigger ones.

Hypothesis: There was no regret about the purchase

"They couldn't have paid for a better advertisement"


Premise: In addition to family, the memorial service was attended by actors and actresses who have worked with Ledger, including Cate Blanchett who starred with Ledger in the Bob Dylan bio-flick, I'm Not There.

An emotional Williams, was wearing dark glasses and a white dress with black trim, she was not accompanied by her daughter Matilda. Williams walked in clutching the arm of Ledger's older sister, Kate.

Hypothesis: Ledger had been  to L.A.

The article states somebody enjoyed there time with Ledge in L.A. meaning he had been there but the system does not recognise this.


Premise: The Sector 15A locality in Noida, India, which is considered an elite enclave of rich industrialists, bureaucrats and professionals was in for a shock when Anant Gupta, son of Adobe India CEO Naresh Gupta was abducted in broad daylight by two unidentified men on Monday. The Noida police was subsequently notified but they were unable to locate the motor-cycle used by the kidnappers as no one was able to take down the registration number of the vehicle. A number of raiding teams have been formed by the police to track down the offenders.

Hypothesis: Naresh Gupta is not the son of Adobe India CEO.

Actually, Anant Gupta is son of Adobe India CEO Naresh Gupta.The name mix-up fooled the model.


Premise: Qatar and Oman are members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, GCC, which also groups Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Premise: When she was barely 20 years old, Dutch singer Edsilia Rombley got her first large taste of international acclaim. Already a winner of the smaller imitation contest Soundmix Show, she decided to shoot higher. With a great deal of determination, she performed in front of hundreds of millions of television viewers at the 1998 Eurovision Song Contest in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Her song, the R&B flavored "Hemel en aarde" (Heaven and earth), placed fourth and gave her country their highest placing at Eurovision since their last win in 1975. No Dutch contestant after her has been able to place similarly.

Hypothesis: Her song, the R&B flavored "Hemel en aarde" placed fourth in the year after 1974.

Her song, the R&B flavored "Hemel en aarde" placed fourth in 1975. The system was confused by the year.


Premise: Meanwhile, thousands of soldiers from the first Gulf War are still suffering from severe symptoms that have been linked to what is now known as Gulf War illness, say veterans advocates.

Hypothesis: A least three soldiers are still suffering from severe symptoms that have been linked to what is now known as Gulf War illness.

If thousands of soldiers from the first Gulf War are still suffering from severe symptoms that have been linked to what is now known as Gulf War illness, then it is definitely correct to say "A least three soldiers are still suffering from severe symptoms that have been linked to what is now known as Gulf War illness" because thousands is greater than three, so there are at least three.


Premise: Her husband, political novice Juan Carlos Lecompte, scrambles to preserve Betancourt's dream and sustain the Oxygen Green Party, the political party she founded.

Hypothesis: It is not the dioxide Green Party.

It is the Oxygen Green Party not dioxide. The system was confused by the term.


Premise: "The Black Panther", or "The Black Pearl", as he was known, was top scorer in the 1966 World Cup, with nine goals to his name.

Hypothesis: "The Black Pearl" was a talented player.

The text states that "The Black Pearl" was the top scorer in The World Cup, where only the most talented players get to play. He must have been a talented player. The system likely made a mistake because the text didn't call him a talented player specifically, rather matter-of-factly stated his accomplishments.


Premise: Thousands of Shiite Muslims rallied Friday, in the southern city of Basra, to show support for Iraq's new constitution and the Shiite-dominated government.

Hypothesis: Many of these muslims are rallying before the weekend

This is correct. They are rallying on a friday, which is before the weekend


Premise: A priest who served in the Diocese of Metuchen in the mid-1980s has been sentenced to life in prison for sexually abusing a Massachusetts boy.

Hypothesis: A priest who worked in metuchen is guilty of pederasty

Pederasty or paederasty (US: /ˈpɛdəræsti/ or UK: /ˈpiːdəræsti/) is a sexual relationship between an adult man and a pubescent or adolescent boy.system doesnt know meaning of pederasty


Premise: In this respect, the reforms required across Europe are similar: stronger incentives within pension systems to delay retirement, rules which facilitate gradual retirement, incentives for workers to save for their retirement, and public information measures to improve awareness of the options available.

The statement is correct since the actor was squirted with the water gun.


Premise: The privately owned spacecraft only got about 400 feet into space, according to radar measurements, but it was enough to confirm that it no longer takes a well-heeled government project to organize space travel.

Hypothesis: The distance the spacecraft got into space was less then 401 feet.

less than 401 is 400 so it is correct but the AI recognized 401 was not 400 and marked it incorrect.


Premise: The exchanges resulted in greatly improved financial, oil, fisheries, and military issues, but Great Britain consistently refused to address the issue of sovereignty over the Falklands.

Hypothesis: Great Britain refused to address the latest Issue of the financial publication sovereignty to the falklands

The created statement says that there is a publication called sovereignty which clearly isn't true however it also says that Great Britain didn't address this to the Falklands which is correct.

Brad, 45, has taken on the duty of driving adopted boys Maddox, eight, and Pax, five, to class while his partner Angelina Jolie shoots her latest film 'Salt'. The couple also raise four other children, adopted daughter Zahara, four, and their naturally conceived children Shiloh, two, and eight-month-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

Hypothesis: Angelina plays in the movie salt

Angelina Jolie definitely plays in the movie Salt. The AI probably looks at salt as a spice in cooking and not a film


Premise: Thanks to the thirty Heads who responded to my question about maternity leave. Clearly, the amount of maternity leave offered to teachers at international schools varies greatly from school to school.

Hypothesis: If you want to know the amount of maternity leave a teacher can get, you have to know the specific school she works for.

The maternity leave varies greatly depending on the school. Very long sentence using many words not part of the original text


Premise: John and Frances Galyean are partners in life and now both share a passion for photography. The Galyeans, married for more than 46 years, have been involved in photography since 1999.

Hypothesis: The Galyeans have been married for at least 0 days

It says they have been married for 46 years, which is at least 0 days. Anything over 0 days is at least 0 days. The system gets confused when you say at least 0 days, which maybe means it thinks I'm saying less than or equal to?


Premise: According to Naeye, the newfangled telescopes will be able to peer so far back in space and, thus, time that they "will see the first galaxies assembling a few hundred million years after the Big Bang."

Hypothesis: The telescope is more powerful than previous versions of it

Premise: Clonaid, which claims to have produced 13 cloned babies worldwide, told the Streats daily newspaper two Singaporean couples had signed deals agreeing to pay $200,000 to conceive children through cloning.

Hypothesis: Clonaid claims to have produced less than (5*5) cloned babies worldwide.

They claimed to have produced 13 babies, which is definitely less than 25. It's difficult because the system does not understand that 5*5 = 25, and instead thinks it means just 5.


Premise: On the other hand, the article, "Fiction and Facts About Drug Legalization", by Joseph Califano identifies possible social problems that could occur as a result of marijuana being decriminalized in any form, whether for medical purposes or for recreational use.

Premise: On Wednesday night people in the Bahçelievler district of Yenibosna in Istanbul, Turkey, claimed that they had seen a UFO flying in the sky, the Turkish newspaper Sabah reports. They said that the UFO was glowing with white lights and that it revolved around itself. Istanbul has had previous UFO incidents in the past, and in 2002, the Istanbul UFO Museum was opened to the public.

Hypothesis: Istanbul has had previous UFO incidents in the past, and in the year after 2001.

Istanbul has had previous UFO incidents in the past, and in 2002. The system was confused by the year.


Premise: Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys, whose pioneering discoveries revolutionised police investigation techniques, told the Guardian newspaper innocent people were being "branded as criminals" because the database retained details of everyone arrested, regardless of whether they were later convicted. The Government now holds more than five million profiles, up 1.4 million in two years. Sir Alec also called for improved genetic testing procedures, warning that the current system could result in a miscarriage of justice, in an interview with the Guardian newspaper.

Hypothesis: He called because he wanted improved genetic testing

It says he called to get more genetic testing, which is in line with my statement just worded differently


Premise: The father of a British soldier who was killed in Iraq yesterday has paid tribute to his son. 29 year-old Corporal Matthew Cornish, who was married with two young children, sustained injuries after a mortar attack on a base in Basra. He was rushed to hospital, but he later died. He was the first soldier to be killed in an attack on a UK military compound in Iraq. "I'm proud of him as a soldier and as a son. He did the Army proud," 60 year-old Robin Cornish said of his son, the one hundred and fifteenth British soldier to be killed in Iraq since operations began in 2003.

Hypothesis: Matthew Cornish was married with two young children.

I don't know why it was difficult, the writing states that he was married with two young children, so my statement is true.


Premise: A suicide attack is an attack in which the attacker or attackers intend to kill others and intend to die in the process (see suicide). In a suicide attack in the strict sense the attacker dies by the attack itself, for example in an explosion or crash caused by the attacker.

The attacker intends to die in the suicide attack.


Premise: The BBC's Tim Franks says frustrated British diplomats insist there have been several achievements but there is no doubt that the continued delay in reaching agreement on a budget for the EU hangs over all discussions.

Premise: Alex Da Silva, a salsa dance instructor and choreographer for Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance," was arrested Saturday on suspicion of sexually assaulting four of his students, according to a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department. Da Silva, 41, is accused of assaulting the students in his two homes in the San Fernando Valley over the last six years, police said. He is being held in lieu of $3.8 million bail. Authorities said the four victims were all students of Da Silva at the time of the assaults.

Hypothesis: Silva can walk free if someone pays $3.8 million for his bail.

The context states that "he is being held in lieu of $3.8 million bail." This indicates that he can get out of jail if someone pays that sum. The system may not have understood this.


Premise: The two sectors of the divided island of Cyprus held a referendum on reunification on Saturday, April 24, 2004.

Hypothesis: The governments on each side of Cyprus decided to ask the public about reunifying the island.

Governments hold referendums. Referendums are public inquiries about a subject.


Premise: With Washington hinting it might soften its tough stance to break the deadlock, top US negotiator, Christopher Hill, said the two sides needed to review the situation.

Premise: Both of these attacks, attributed to the drug trafficking cartels, took place after 10 bombs, placed in nine political offices of the Liberal and Social Conservative parties and in another bank office, exploded early this morning in downtown Bogota.

Hypothesis: Downtown Bogota is a nice place to live.

Downtown Bogota may or may not be a nice place to live. This bombing event could just be an isolated incident. The system likely thought that downtown Bogota was not a nice place to live because it is only focused on this negative event.


Premise: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged all 70 nations attending a conference on Afghanistan's future to help the country succeed. She told delegates at the one-day event in The Hague that the international effort there had been "undermanned and underfunded" over recent years. Among the countries to offer help has been US foe Iran. The conference comes after the US announced a major policy rethink on its approach towards Afghanistan. The meeting, called by the UN, comes amid widespread concern that not enough progress has been made since the US-led invasion in 2001. Support for Afghan reconstruction is being sought beyond the mainly-Western countries which have troops there.

Hypothesis: East and western countries has troops in Afghanistan.

mainly-Western countries which have troops in Afghanistan


Premise: Asia has the highest number of child workers, but Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest proportion of working children relative to population.

Hypothesis: There are more children in Asia than there are in Sub-Saharan Africa.

That is probably true, but statement says only obout working children.


Premise: Jyestadeva (1500-1610), was an astronomer of the Kerala school founded by Madhava of Sangamagrama and a student of Damodara. He is most known for writing the first calculus text, the Yuktibhasa . He also authored the Drk-karana on astronomical observations.

Hypothesis: Jyestadeva was born in North America.

The statement is indeed neither definitely correct nor definitely incorrect. The text doesn't state where Jyestadeva was born. For all the reader knows, he could have been born in North America, or he might not have been in North America. I think this was difficult for the system to detect because "North America" is terminology it hadn't accounted for.


Premise: The chain of events which led to the collapse of Barings, Britain's oldest merchant bank, is a demonstration of how not to manage a derivatives operation.

Hypothesis: There is one correct way on how to manage a derivatives operation.

The passage does not say how you manage one. It says that the way the bank handled it is just an incorrect way. This does not imply how many ways would be correct. There is no way of knowing from this pasage alone. The ai might not have took this in consideration.


Premise: Yunus, who was nominated for the peace prize at least twice before, is the first person from Bangladesh, a country of 147 million, to win a Nobel Prize. His Nobel Prize is a rare bright light in a country struggling to defeat Islamic terrorists, and which is chronically inundated by floods and battered by storms that blow in from the Bay of Bengal. The country, formerly known as East Pakistan, is bordered by the Bay of Bengal, India and Burma.

Hypothesis: The country gets snow

It does not state whether or not the country gets snow.


Premise: Co-producing the film is Happy Madison, the company owned by Sandler, who has been a compatriot of Schneider's since they met early in their careers, as mutually struggling stand-up comedians in Los Angeles.

Hypothesis: comedians in Los Angeles struggle

When they first start out, comedians in Los Angeles will probably struggle. But once you have established yourself like these two, who started their own production company, they are not struggling at all. Just because you're a comic in LA doesn't mean you will always struggle.


Premise: The World Health Organization moved Friday, to revise alarming predictions that a pandemic stemming from the bird flu virus ravaging parts of Asia, could kill as many as 150 million people.

Hypothesis: The bird flu is only hitting Asia.

Though the bird flu is ravaging Asia, it could be hitting other parts of the world as well.


Premise: Saudi Arabia's production mix will shift to a higher proportion of lighter crudes. Unlike last year's Qatif and Abu Safah developments, nearly all of the proposed projects produce Arab Light or lighter crudes.

Hypothesis: saudi arabia produces mostly heavy crude


Premise: The State of California Department of Occupational Health and Safety released its report on the September 5 fatal accident on Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad attraction.

Hypothesis: At least a couple people died in a September 5 accident on Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad attraction.

There is no indication whether one person, a "couple," or more died on the attraction.


Premise: About 50 percent of all British party members are female (in contrast to only about 25 percent in Germany) but only 9.2 percent are represented in parliament.

Hypothesis: The exact number of British party members who are female is more than 50 percent.

It says "about 50 percent," which the exact number could be more or less than 50 percent.


Premise: The richest provinces, Ontario, Alberta and B.C, have spent billions on tax cuts and slashing services while at the same time howling for Ottawa to give them more money for medicare.

Hypothesis: Ottawa has plenty more money to offer for medicare.

The statement is in the correct category because while the excerpt says that the other provinces want more medicare money from Ottawa, it does not say how much funding Ottawa actually has available. The system may have had difficulty due to no specifics being given in the excerpt.


Premise: Bechtolsheim left Sun in 1995 to found Granite Systems, a maker of high-speed networking systems, which he later sold to Cisco Systems.

Hypothesis: None of Bechtolsheim's businesses did well.

It doesn't state how his businesses performed.


Premise: Mr Ferdinand Piech said that the German company did not have any confidential plans or documents about GM's ultra-low-cost factory project.

Hypothesis: Ferdinand Piech is no longer alive.

It's not clear from the text because we don't know when he said this and no information is provided about his death at all. In actuality, he is dead, but we wouldn't know that without external knowledge. It's difficult because the system probably assumes he must be alive if he "said" something.


Premise: After insulting the UN committee insinuating they were irrelavant, Bush no sooner had approval from Congress to use "force/war" if Hussein did not permit unfettered access for inspections - and the war ships were moved into place on the Gulf.

Hypothesis: Hussein was never scared in his entire life.

Hussein could have been an incredibly brave man who never experienced fear. The system can not be sure from the text whether this statement is true or not. I think the system is making assumptions about the human condition.


Premise: The 38-year-old actress recently appeared in a court case against Jack Jordan, a man who was found guilty of stalking her. The friend added: "Everyone is so happy for Uma after what she went through with that stalker. Arki is a guy who can take care of her. "Uma is hoping this time, it's really love. Everyone wants the best for her. And Arki is a really sweet guy." Uma was previously married to actor Gary Oldman, while Arpad has two children with Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson.

Hypothesis: Jack Jordan loves Uma

It doesn't state that Jack Jordan loves Uma, it just says that he is stalking her.  He could love her but he could also hate her.


Premise: On any given day, Ms Lupse is on camera for between one and five hours, presenting a number of different call-in shows on several different networks: not only National TV but also Prima TV and Antena 1, all broadcast from the same studio. Despite the repetition, she doesn't get bored. "For me it's always exciting. I enjoy it very much! If I'm tired at the end of the show it means I've done a good show. But I'm never tired during the show." When I play a clip of one of her energetic show presentations - not the one she's become best known for - she elaborates on her exuberance. "I'm always excited when I'm about to give big prizes! There is no show without winners!".

Hypothesis: Ms Lupse gives away money

The context only states Ms Lupse gives away big prizes, it doesn't mention whether that's money. The system must have assumed that the prizes were monetary.


Premise: In announcing plans today to prepare the nation for combating a future worldwide wave of bird flu, President Bush used vocabulary and tactics that are familiar from his confrontation with global terrorism.

Hypothesis: President Bush enjoys a nice relaxing game of golf.

From the context, we do not know whether or not President Bush enjoys a nice relaxing game of golf, therefore the statement is neither definitely correct nor definitely incorrect.


Premise: Yunus, who shared the 1.4 million prize Friday with the Grameen Bank that he founded 30 years ago, pioneered the concept of "microcredit." It allows very poor people, who don't qualify for traditional loans, to get loans of as little as a few dollars without collateral. The banks' shareholders are the impoverished people it supports.

Hypothesis: Yunus is a billionaire


Premise: Definitely do not lift the ban on ivory, it will drive the species to near extinction again. Elephant numbers should be controlled but what has ivory got to do with it? It is a barbaric trade and should be banned permanently.

Hypothesis: Elephants and mice are natural enemies.

From the context we do not know whether or not mice and elephants are natural enemies, therefore the statement is neither definitely correct nor definitely incorrect


Premise: Carmen was only slightly put out to find that women are as poorly represented among Australian political scientists as they are in parliament (Leonie was asking, 'where are all the women?').

Hypothesis: Australian parliament works closely with female political scientists such as Carmen.

It is not stated if parliament works with female political scientists, or if Carmen herself is a female political scientist. I think it was difficult due to the additional details.


Premise: And this is a town that everybody agrees, law enforcement, Border Patrol, residents on both sides, is a staging area of illegal drugs and illegal aliens.

Hypothesis: Illegal aliens are bringing drugs into the town.

The article states that the town has problems with illegal drugs and illegal aliens. The illegal aliens might or might not be bringing drugs into the town, we don't have enough information to know. I think the system is confused because I used words from the article and implied a meaning from them.


Premise: In June 2004, top Russian oil producer Lukoil signed a $1 billion 35-year production-sharing agreement to develop Uzbek natural gas deposits.

Hypothesis: Lukoil owns all Uzbek natural gas deposits

They are production sharing and not necessarily owning. Also, it just says Uzbek, not all of Uzbeki oil


Premise: Budapest consists of two parts, Buda and Pest, which are situated on opposite sides of the river and connected by a series of bridges.

Hypothesis: Buda and Pest function as separate cities.

We don't know that this is true.  It's possible, but they are part of the same city and connected to each other, so there is not reason to think they function any differently than 2 adjacent neighborhoods in any other city.


Premise: To the world, M. Larry Lawrence, the new U.S. emissary to Switzerland who hosted President Clinton on his Southern California vacation, will be known as Mr. Ambassador.

Hypothesis: Larry Lawrence has one foot.

It is neither because his feet are not mentioned but the system assumes this is correct.


Premise: Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, said, last night, that his officers were "playing out of their socks", but admitted that they were "racing against time" to track down the bombers.

Hypothesis: Sir Ian Blair worships the Dark Lord Sauron.

From the context, we do not know whether or not Sir Ian Blair worships the Dark Lord Sauron, so the statement is neither definitely correct nor definitely incorrect.


Premise: He interviewed Shigeko Sasamori in December 2004. Ms. Sasamori was thirteen when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima (August 6, 1945).

Hypothesis: Shigeko Sasamori saw the atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.

Although Shigeko Sasamori was interviewed about this event, it's uncertain if she witnessed it personally. I think the system is confused because of so many matching words.


Premise: If you have rheumatic heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes, or take digitalis drugs, vitamin E can be harmful.

Hypothesis: diabetes is better than high blood pressure.

the statement does not argue for or against this therefore it should be neither. The system has made a common sense error.


Premise: Romania currently supplies one of the world's largest contingents of troops in Iraq, with nearly 1000 people.

Hypothesis: Iraq is mainly occupied by Romania troops

Even though Romania supplies one of the largest contingent of troops in Iraq we are not certain that they occupy most of iraq


Premise: ARCHEOLOGISTS and forensic experts believe they have identified the skeleton of Cleopatra's younger sister, murdered more than 2,000 years ago on the orders of the Egyptian queen.  The remains of Princess Arsinöe, put to death in 41BC on the orders of Cleopatra and her Roman lover Mark Antony to eliminate her as a rival, are the first relics of the Ptolemaic dynasty to be identified.  The breakthrough, by an Austrian team, has provided pointers to Cleopatra's true ethnicity. Scholars have long debated whether she was Greek or Macedonian like her ancestor the original Ptolemy, a Macedonian general who was made ruler of Egypt by Alexander the Great, or whether she was north African.

Hypothesis: Cleopatra killed herself with a snake.

The context discussed the death of Cleopatra's sister Arsinoe and the finding of her remains. This excerpt makes no mention of Cleopatra's method of death, which was indeed by snakebite.


Premise: Last week, saw the fall of the Dutch right wing coalition government, made up of the Christian-democrats (CDA) led by Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, the right wing liberal party (VVD) and the so-called left-liberal D66.

Hypothesis: The Christian-democrats were founded in Israel.

The original statement does not state were the Christian-democrats were founded, it could be anywhere.


Premise: Anorexia in males accounted for approximately six percent of cases seen in an eating disorder clinic.

Hypothesis: The eating disorder clinic seen only one male a day  with anorexia

It states in the context that 6% of the patients seen at the clinic were male. It does NOT state how many of those males visited per day . So, the statement the "clinic only seen one male per day" Is Neither Definitely Correct Nor Definitely Incorrect


Premise: Gladys Lauture, a close Aristide friend and longtime supporter, said she and a team of carpenters, plumbers and decorators spent 18 days making Aristide's Port-au-Prince home livable again.

It says in the context that they made Aristide's home " livable" ( should be 'liveable'). It does not say they fixed up his home and he moved back in, or  they fixed up his home and he was able to move back into his home.                                                                                It only states that the home was brought back to a liveable condition.  So the statement " Aristide did not move back into his Port-au-Prince home because he didn't fancy it " Is Neither Definitely Correct Nor Definitely Incorrect


Premise: Clint Brown, sports presenter for 3 News on TV3 in New Zealand has resigned amid the allegations that he had verbally attacked a taxi driver which resulted in him being admitted to hospital with a concussion and a broken eye socket. TV3 has confirmed that they have accepted the resignation of Brown. Rick Friesen, Chief Operating Officer of the TV Works division of CanWest MediaWorks NZ, that runs TV3, said: "We wish to acknowledge Clint's significant skills as a sports broadcaster, and thank him for his 17 years of very loyal service to TV3. Clint Brown is a passionate New Zealand sports fan, and he has been at the forefront of some of New Zealand's biggest sporting moments."

Hypothesis: Clint Brown likes Australian sports.

There is not enough information to know if he like Australian sports as much as he does New Zealand.


Premise: After the polio cases were identified, public health officials in the Dominican Republic and Haiti began giving the vaccines to large numbers of children. Public health officials now say the disease is under control and is not a public health threat.

Hypothesis: After the poland cases were identified, public health officials in the Dominican Republic and Haiti began giving the vaccines to large numbers of children

should be polio not poland so it is incorrect but all of the other words were the same and the AI didn't notice the change in the one word.


Premise: Dr. Amy Joy Lanou, director of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in America, was quick to point out health dangers of the Atkins diet.

Hypothesis: Dr. Amy Joy Lanou, director of the Doctor's Committee for Responsible Medicine in America, pointed out health dangers of the Atkins diet.

The original passage says that Dr. Lanou directs an organization called the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in America. It is not called the "Doctor's Committee for Responsible Medicine in America."


Premise: Witnesses told police a gas canister exploded to start the fire in a multilevel building which houses the Ycua Bolanos supermarket, a food court and a parking garage, causing the bottom floor to collapse.

Hypothesis: in a multilevel building police made a gas canister explode said witnesses

Police didn't do it. the witnesses said they saw it


Premise: Oil prices this Tuesday rose sharply in New York and London reaching a record 42,33 US dollars per barrel, 2.45 US dollars more than last Friday.

Hypothesis: New York and London are in the same country

The New York and London referred to in this passage are not in the same country, they are clearly talking about two different exchanges and New York and London are prominent enough in this context to not need country attributes here


Premise: Budapest again became the focus of national political drama in the late 1980s, when Hungary led the reform movement in eastern Europe that broke the communist monopoly on political power and ushered in the possibility of multiparty politics.

Hypothesis: The thing at subject was the main focus more than 40 years ago

It was late 1980's which is estimated 30 years ago, not more than 40 at all. That would be 1970


Premise: World leaders expressed concern on Thursday that North Korea will quit six-party nuclear disarmament talks and will  bolster its nuclear weapons arsenal.

Hypothesis: North Korea is south of South Korea.

North Korea is obviously north of South Korea. This isn't explicitly indicated, but common sense would dictate such a case.


Premise: In Italy, big protests by students and university staff against government reforms to higher education brought parts of central Rome to a standstill on Tuesday.

Hypothesis: Big student and university staff protests brought parts of the Roman Empire to a standstill on Tuesday.

It is common knowledge that the Roman Empire no longer exists so this is incorrect.


Premise: GUS on Friday disposed of its remaining home shopping business and last non-UK retail operation with the 390m (265m) sale of the Dutch home shopping company, Wehkamp, to Industri Kapital, a private equity firm.

Hypothesis: Industri Kapital is traded on the stock exchange.

It is a private equity firm which means no stock and cannot be traded in public stock exchanges.


Premise: Three leading Japanese banks have announced an alliance forming the world's largest financial group. Fuji Bank, Dai-Ichi Kangyo and the Industrial Bank of Japan say their operations will be integrated by the spring of 2002.

Hypothesis: Industrial Bank of Japan say their operations will be integrated by the spring of the year prior to 2004.

Industrial Bank of Japan say their operations will be integrated by the spring of 2002. The system was confused by the year.


Premise: In 1962, Armstrong was transferred to astronaut status. He served as command pilot for the Gemini 8 mission, launched March 16, 1966, and along with David Scott, performed the first successful docking of two vehicles in space by mating his Gemini 8 with an uninhabited Agena rocket.

Hypothesis: The Gemini 8 mission was launched in the first month of 1966.

March is not the first month in 1966, or any year. It's difficult because the system might not understand how the months are ordered.


Premise: Concerns have been raised that potential leads in the hunt for missing York woman Claudia Lawrence are not being followed up quickly enough. It comes after hotel staff in Malton contacted police after a stranger in the bar expressed satisfaction when asked if the chef was still missing. The incident happened more than three weeks ago and staff said detectives had not yet been in touch. Police said leads were being assessed in a methodical and structured way.

Hypothesis: There is a hunt for a missing New York woman named Claudia Lawrence.

it should be york not new york but the AI didn't recognized the added work and thought it was correct.


Premise: On 12 August, the San Carlos Battalion came across mines placed in their path and one soldier was killed while two were seriously injured. Meanwhile on 10 August, urban commandos took a patrol car by surprise and dropped a grenade inside the car, injuring four and partially destroying the vehicle.

Hypothesis: San Carlos Battalion put a grenade in a car.

Urban commandos put the grenade in the car, not the San Carlos Battalion.


Premise: On Wednesday night people in the Bahçelievler district of Yenibosna in Istanbul, Turkey, claimed that they had seen a UFO flying in the sky, the Turkish newspaper Sabah reports. They said that the UFO was glowing with white lights and that it revolved around itself. Istanbul has had previous UFO incidents in the past, and in 2002, the Istanbul UFO Museum was opened to the public.

Hypothesis: The Istanbul UFO Museum was opened to the public in the year prior to 2004.

The Istanbul UFO Museum was opened to the public in 2002. The system was confused by the year.


Premise: The Beetle has achieved an unbelievable cult status across the world, not least because its creation marked the launch of what has since become the largest car company in Europe.

Hypothesis: The Beetle launch the largest car company in the world.

The Beetle launch the largest car company in the Europe with its creation, not the World.


Premise: Exercising the powers referred to in article 15, paragraph 3, of the protocol to suppress and punish trafficking in persons, especially women and children, the government of Ecuador makes a reservation with regard to article 15, paragraph 2, relating to the settlement of disputes.

Hypothesis: article 15, paragraph 3 concerns the settlement of disputes.

article 15, paragraph 2 is the paragraph that concerns the settlement of disputes. The system did not detect that the paragraphs had been switched


Premise: Diana, Princess of Wales died on Sunday, 31 August 1997 following a car crash in Paris. There was widespread public mourning at the death of this popular figure, culminating with her funeral at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, 6 September 1997.

Hypothesis: Princess Diana's funeral was within the same month as her death.

It is definitely incorrect because Princess Diana's funeral took place in September, as opposed to August. The AI probably got it wrong because it did not keep track of the name of the month in which her death and funeral occurred.


Premise: The results of numerous epidemiological studies and recent clinical trials provide consistent evidence that diets rich in fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of chronic disease.

Hypothesis: Fruit and vegetable diets ensure you will not get a chronic disease.

The system knows the diets reduce risk but does not realize a risk still exists.


Premise: Mayor Michael Bloomberg seemed ambivalent to the change, saying "I would like to see it stay the Freedom Tower, but it's their building, and they don't need me dumping on it. If they could rent the whole thing by changing the name, I guess they're going to do that, and they probably, from a responsible point of view, should. From a patriotic point of view, is it going to make any difference?".

Hypothesis: Michael Bloomberg is govenor.

Michael Bloomberg is a mayor. The system was confused by the context.


Premise: In 1986 he became the head of London European Airways, a business in which Ryanair had bought an 85% stake. This position, however, quickly disappeared as the carrier became Ryanair UK and was then merged entirely with Ryanair. Over the next decade, Cathal worked both on the executive board of the airline and as a pilot, although he resigned from the latter by 1996. He remained with Ryanair until leaving the board 2002, by which time he was a multi-millionaire due to the success of the airline.

Hypothesis: Ryan was a pilot for Ryanair until 2002.

This is definitely incorrect, as he resigned from being a pilot in 1996. The system may not have understood the wording in the context.


Premise: In 1955, the Aurora Borealis, a coating applied to crystal stones to produce a "rainbow of colors" effect was introduced.

Hypothesis: The Aurora Borealis coating is 50 years old.

It was invented in 1955 is definitely older than 50.


Premise: Long-distance telephone company MCI Inc., on Friday, touted its $6.75 billion deal to be bought by Verizon Communications Inc., but said it would thoroughly analyze a revised $8 billion bid by Qwest Communications International Inc.

Hypothesis: Verizon Communications will be purchased for 6.75 billion by MCI.

MCI is the one being purchased by Verizon, so that's why my statement is wrong. The agent found it as being correct due to the way the companies were switched in the text.


Premise: The third, and most remote possibility, was considered to be a so-called Jamaican coalition, again based on the party colours, between the Christian Democrats, the FDP and the Greens.

Hypothesis: The most remote possibility is the number that comes before the number two

the number 1 comes before the number two, and this is talking about the THIRD possibility there fore it is wrong


Premise: When the last member of the Hasmonean Dynasty died in 37 B.C., Rome made Herod king of Judah.  With Roman backing, Herod (37-34 B.C.) ruled on both sides of the Jordan River.  After his death the Jewish kingdom was divided among his heirs and gradually absorbed into the Roman Empire.

Hypothesis: Herod was a member of the Hasmonean Dynasty.

Herod was made king of Judah after the last member of the Hasmonean Dynasty died, he  could not have been a part of it. I think the system is confused because I took words from the article and used them out of context.


Premise: Accompanied by Sioux prayers and the keening of Scottish bagpipes, a plain cotton shirt was returned to South Dakota this past summer.

Hypothesis: South Dakota had bagpipes returned to it this past summer.

The context makes mention of bagpipes, but only that they were used and not returned there.


Premise: Linda Johnson, who lives with her husband, Charles, and two cats in a rented one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco's Mission District, said Katrina has made her realize she needs to gather together, in one accessible place, her scattered disaster supplies.

Five people - including a child - were killed in one home. Several of the victims are believed to have been members of the gunman's family.  The gunman has not been formally identified, but was named in the local press as Michael McLendon.

Hypothesis: the crimes happened in the rust belt


Premise: Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori has been sentenced to 25 years in jail for ordering killings and kidnappings by security forces. At the end of a 15-month trial, judges found him guilty of two death-squad killings of 25 people during the conflict with guerrillas in the 1990s. After being sentenced, Mr Fujimori said he would appeal against the verdict. Human rights group Amnesty International described the verdict as "a milestone in the fight for justice".

Hypothesis: After a 15-month trial, a jury found former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori guilty of two death-squad killings of 25 people during the conflict with guerrillas in the 1990s.

After a 15-month trial, former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori was found guilty of two death-squad killings of 25 people during the conflict with guerrillas in the 1990s by judges; not a jury.


Premise: Earlier this year reporter Judith Miller was jailed for refusing to name the US-government source who identified a member of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Valerie Plame.

Hypothesis: Judith Miller has accepted jail time instead of revealing information.

She went to jail because she wouldn't name her source so my statement is correct.


Premise: "I will not seek your votes for a new mandate." With these words, the President of France, Jacques Chirac (74) announced during a radio and television broadcast at 20:00 UTC that it's time for him to serve his country in a different way. The announcement was widely speculated about and did not come as a surprise. The official announcement gives the candidate from the majority party UMP, Nicolas Sarkozy, more freedom during the next six weeks that remain before the Presidential elections in France. Although Sarkozy is from the same party as Chirac and hopes to receive an endorsement from him, the President has not yet expressed his support for a particular candidate to succeed him, and he did not refer to Sarkozy during any moment of his speech.

Hypothesis: unsupported by the president the candidate is

The candidate lacks support making the statement correct. The model was probably fooled by the structure of the sentence


Premise: One year on from the Indian Ocean tsunami, the world's grief and compassion returned to the tsunami-battered coastlines of the Indian Ocean, where at least 216,000 people lost their lives. Under a clear sky and before a gentle sea, the world commemorated those who lost their lives, in one of the worst natural disasters that the modern world has experienced.

Hypothesis: Many more people lived before the tsunami than after it.

Because 216,000 died during the tsunami.


Premise: The increased amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) are the primary causes of the human-induced component of global warming.

Hypothesis: CO2 is just one part of the human induced component of global warming

CO2 islisted as one of the components of global warming, so my statement is correct


Premise: Lebanon is in a period of mourning after a massive car bomb killed the former Prime Minister, Rafik Hariri, on Tuesday.

Hypothesis: Rafik Hariri was from Lebanon.


Premise: Prosecutors were still expected to unseal an 11-count manslaughter indictment against the ferry's captain, Michael Gansas.

Premise: Drew Barrymore and Justin Long have been cast in a romantic comedy called Going the Distance. The New Line Cinema film is to be directed by documentary filmmaker Nanette Burstein, who made the films The Kid Stays in the Picture and American Teen. It will be Burstein's feature film debut. Going the Distance, written by New Line staffer Geoff LaTulippe, will focus on a couple dealing with challenges arising from a cross-country romance. Media reports did not indicate a release date had been determined.

Hypothesis: all the movies were directed by the same person

The three movies listed in the paragraph have the same director. This makes my statement correct. The model seems to have trouble with vague statements.


Premise: The National Park Trust identified 20 high-priority sites - including the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and Virginia and Everglades National Park in Florida - as areas with private property that could be sold.

Hypothesis: There are areas with property that could be sold in many states

There were at least 20 states, because the 20 is only considered high priority, there are probably more, which means the word "many" is probably applicable


Premise: Mr Fitzgibbon expects some of the 17,000 additional US troops heading for Afghanistan will bolster Australian forces operating in the dangerous Oruzgan province in the south. The defence minister was planning to raise the issue specifically with US Defence Secretary Robert Gates. He has already held talks with US central command chief General David Petraeus and director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Leon Panetta. General Petraeus discussed the new US strategy for Afghanistan and the troop surge in which an extra 17,000 troops will be deployed in the southern provinces where Taliban insurgents have been most active.

Hypothesis: More troops are needed in the region.


Premise: Al-Qaida-linked militants have carried out a series of suicide bombings targeting Western interests in Indonesia since 2002.

Hypothesis: Al-Qaida-linked militants have performed no fewer than two bombings in the world since 2002.

It said they have done a series of bombings, which means there had to have been at least 2. My statement is correct.


Premise: Victor Emmanuel was born on Nov. 11, 1869, in Naples. After his father, Umberto I, was assassinated in 1900, Victor Emmanuel succeeded to the throne.

Hypothesis: Victor Emmanuel was in his thirties when his father was killed.

Based on the dates of his birth and the assassination, he would have been in his thirties. The statement is correct.


Premise: For example, the fields of Western farmers feed the United States and many other parts of the world, and India's irrigation systems have enabled that country to be self-sufficient in food production since 1974. In addition, in many parts of the world dams have helped to remedy life-threatening problems such as poverty from lack of economic development, famine as a result of drought, devastation from floods, and continued disease from lack of potable water supplies.

Hypothesis: There are people who wouldn't be alive without dams.

It said that they have helped to remedy life-threatening problems  which means if they weren't there some people would have died. My statement is correct.


Premise: Miles of Australia's most pristine coastline have been declared a disaster zone following a large oil spill from a storm-damaged cargo ship. At least 60 kilometres of Queensland's southeastern shore were contaminated when at least 42 tonnes of oil spilled into the ocean from MV Pacific Adventurer on Wednesday night.  The ship, which had sailed into cyclonic weather, lost 31 containers aboard, one of which pierced the ship's hull and a fuel tank.  Anna Bligh, the Queensland premier, has declared Moreton Island, Bribie Island and southern parts of the Sunshine Coast disaster zones.

Hypothesis: The beaches have been damaged.


Premise: In 1856 Manuel Ruiz Zorrilla was elected deputy, and soon attracted notice among the most advanced Progressists and Democrats. He took part in the revolutionary propaganda that led to the military movement in Madrid on June 22, 1866. He had to take refuge in France for two years, like his fellow-conspirators, and only returned to Spain when the revolution of 1868 took place.

Hypothesis: Manuel Ruiz Zorrilla lived for more than 8 years.

It said he did something in 1856 and 1866, which means he was definitely alive for more than ten years.


Premise: Figures released today show that the number of organs donated by New Zealanders in 2006 has decreased by four to a new record low of 25. In 2005 the number of organs donated equalled 29, a previous record low in New Zealand. Before 2005 the number of organ donations averaged 40, an already low number by international standards.

Hypothesis: If the trend continues, New Zealanders will donate fewer organs in 2007 than in 2006.

The trend is that there are fewer organs every year. If this continues there will be fewer organs donated in 2007. My statement is correct.


Premise: Both of these attacks, attributed to the drug trafficking cartels, took place after 10 bombs, placed in nine political offices of the Liberal and Social Conservative parties and in another bank office, exploded early this morning in downtown Bogota.

Hypothesis: There are less than sixty bombs used by them

There were only ten bombs making this statement correct. The model caught my statement the first three times, but adding the phrase used by them was enough to fool it. The model might have problems dealing with longer statements.


Premise: The main institutionalised forms of recognition for those who have made a significant contribution in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, as well as for those working for peace (and more recently in the area of economics), are the Nobel prizes.

Hypothesis: This is a high honor.

The Nobel Prize has a lot of recognition.


Premise: The job gains mean that President Bush can celebrate - albeit by a very fine margin - a net growth in jobs in the US economy in his first term in office.

Hypothesis: President Bush is responsible for the gains.

The gains happened during his presidency.


Premise: It is the country's aging nuclear facility that currently concerns Armenian environmental groups as well as those in neighboring countries. Twenty miles west of the capital Yerevan, Armenia's Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant was built in 1970s and houses two VVER-440 Model V230 nuclear reactors. Metsamor, which currently produces about 40 percent of the country's electricity, is located in a seismically active zone and was closed even before the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union because of the devastating Dec. 7, 1988, earthquake in Spitak.

Hypothesis: If you go forty miles west of Yerevan, then backtrack ten miles, twice in a row, you'll find the plant.


Premise: The body of Satomi Mitarai was found by a teacher after her attacker returned to class in bloody clothes.

Hypothesis: The attacker killed Satomi Mitarai.

It said the body was found... that means she was killed.


Premise: Northwest Strikes: If Northwest flight attendants go on strike on the 15th, what does that mean for travelers? I have a trip booked on the 24th. Will NW rebook us with other airlines?

Hypothesis: If Northwest flight attendants go on strike on the 15th travelers will have to book other flights.

Based on the text, we don't know what will happen if Northwest flight attendants go on strike on the 15th, so the statement is neither definitely correct, nor definitely incorrect. I think the system got confused because the first part of the statement is correct and the ending is a little vague, so the system decided it is more likely that the whole statement is correct.


Premise: Priscilla Presley greeted thousands of cheering Elvis fans at a concert Friday night, marking the 25th anniversary of the King's death, telling them "you're helping Elvis make history again."

Hypothesis: People didn't like the woman.

Premise: "These new results from Cassini may be the first evidence of gases originating either from the surface or possibly from the interior of Enceladus," said Dr. Michele Dougherty, principal investigator for the Cassini magnetometer and professor at Imperial College in London. Scientists have suspected Enceladus as geologically active and a possible source of Saturn's icy E ring. Enceladus is the most reflective object in the solar system, reflecting about 90 percent of the sunlight that hits it.

Hypothesis: This is incorrect.


Premise: In an address to the IAEA board of governors in Vienna, Hans Blix said a technical team that visited North Korea last month found that "facilities subject to the freeze were not in operation and that construction work had stopped."

Hypothesis: Hans Blix has visited North Korea.

It doesn't say whether Hans Blix visited himself. He said that a technical team had visited but it is not clear whether he was on it.


Premise: The papers presented show that all European countries are experiencing rapidly aging populations that will cause sharp increases in the cost of retirement income over the next several decades.

Hypothesis: Populations are declining in these countries.


Premise: Some people may think that there is no other way to grow plants other than in soil; there is however, another way.

Hypothesis: Some people think there are tons of ways for plants to grow without soil.

Since some people say there is no other way to grow plants, then it should follow that some people think there are tons of ways for plants to grow without soil, but it is unclear.


Premise: A.C. Milan is in second place with 13 points, after two first-half goals from captain Paolo Maldini earned them a 2-1 victory over Reggina.

Hypothesis: Paolo Maldini will always be in first place.

Even if he is first place now, there is no way to know whether he will stay that way or whether someone will go past him. My statement is neither definitely correct nor definitely incorrect.


Premise: One of Argentina's top Falkland negotiators said Mr Hurd's visit the first by a cabinet minister since the 1982 Falklands conflict meant we are on our way to a broader richer relationship in which the islands are only a part of the relationship not the only issue.

Hypothesis: Three cabinet ministers visited in 1981.

It said that he was the first to visit since 1982, but doesn't say what happened in 1981.


Premise: The magazine said the number of billionaires worldwide increased by 102 people in 2006 to 793, a record number, largely due to bullish global stock markets. Their total net worth jumped 18 percent to $2.6 trillion.

Hypothesis: Fewer people are opening businesses.


Premise: The news comes as the owners of Kilroot announced plans to install clean-up equipment at the plant near Carrickfergus at a cost of Â£35 million.

Hypothesis: The owners brush their hair

The owners might brush their hair, but they might not brush their hair making this statement neither correct nor incorrect. Plus it's unrelated to the topic sentence. I am not sure why this statement fooled the model, and not the other things I submitted. Maybe something about the words I used knocked it off.


Premise: Next year is the 50th anniversary of the Normandy invasion, an event that wouldn't have been possible without the Liberty ships. The volunteers hope to raise enough money to sail the O'Brien to France for the big D-Day celebration.

Hypothesis: The ship will be sold to a private investor.

There is no mention of the future of it.

Premise: The liner notes to the CD surmise that Farrakhan is the author of three selections, "Is She Is, or Is She Ain't", "Don't Touch Me Nylon," and "Female Boxer" and that is quite possible. The most interesting is the first of these three, a topical number on Christie Jorgensen, the subject of a series of sex change operations. While such transexual operations have since become more common, this was the first to receive high publicity.

Hypothesis: Khan is the author of the three selections

Khan is not a person making this statement incorrect. The model was fooled by the spelling of the word


Premise: Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, a Muslim cleric also known as Abu Omar was taken by a CIA-led team in Milan on 17 February, 2003 and allegedly transferred by vehicle to the Aviano Air Base near Venice, later by air to the Ramstein Air Base in Germany, and lastly sent to Egypt. He was released from prison on Sunday and says that he would like to return to Italy. He also said he has been tortured with electric shocks, beatings, rape threats and genital abuse, and that "I have been reduced to a wreck of a human being."

Hypothesis: The cleric was part of the CIA.


Premise: At the police-training center in Waipahu, 17 members of the Honolulu Police Department's recruit class practiced driving on this training course on Friday. It will be the last recruit class for a while. Another class set to begin next week has been postponed and a second recruit class scheduled for July will also likely be put off to save money. "We're going to just delay it for now until the budget situation clears up a little bit more," Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann said.

Hypothesis: The quote was spoken by Muf Haneman

The quote in this passage was spoken by Mufi Hannemann making my statement incorrect. The model has problems with the spelling of words


Premise: When the Berlin Wall fell in early November, 1989 Berlin's east and west sections were rejoined to create the third-largest city in Europe , with a population of about 3 million.

Hypothesis: In the first part of the year the Berlin wall fell

The Berlin Wall fell in November making my statement incorrect. The model was probably confused by the vague language I used. Instead of picking a month a used the word year which probably tripped it up.


Premise: The 26-member International Energy Agency said, Friday, that member countries would release oil to help relieve the U.S. fuel crisis caused by Hurricane Katrina.

Hypothesis: The International Energy Agency said member countries would release oil to help the crisis caused by Hurricane Katrina in a country in the Southern Hemisphere.

The oil crisis is in the U.S. which is a country in the Northern Hemisphere.


Hypothesis: European countries are showing as the populations grow older, retirement income will rapidly increase over the next few years.

There will be a rapid increase in the next few decades.  There will be only a small increase in the next few years.


Premise: Winning Team John C. Harsanyi, John F. Nash and Reinhard Selten were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics. The three professors were singled out for their unique contributions to game theory, derived from studies of games such as poker or chess, in which players have to think ahead and devise a strategy based on expected countermoves from opponents.

Hypothesis: Hard Selten was one of the people awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics

Hard Selten does not exist making my statement incorrect the model probably had issues with the spelling of his name.


Premise: Arromanches-les-Bains or simply Arromanches is a town in Normandy, France, located on the coast in the heart of the area where the Normandy landings took place on D-Day, on June 6, 1944.

Hypothesis: Normany landings took place in the heartland.

I changed heart of the area to heartland.


Premise: In 1954, in a gesture of friendship to mark the 300th anniversary of Ukrainian union with Russia, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev gave Crimea to Ukraine.

Hypothesis: Ni Chev gave crimea to ukraine

Ni Chev is not a person making my statement incorrect the model had problems with the spelling of words
