I ain't playin' fool.

Too easy for you?

How about this one:

Assume:

1. Gary likes Nick.
2. There exists exactly one z such that for all x there exists a y such that if y likes x or x likes y then z likes x.

If the previous statements are true, which of the following must be true:

A. Exactly one person likes Gary.
B. Exactly one person likes everyone.
C. Only Gary likes Nick.
D. None of the above.

You should add a poll to this toilet. To do that, you click quit the internet in the lower right. May sound silly, but it adds a visually appealing poll that encourages participation.
