Show that these statements are inconsistent: "If Miranda does not lake a course in discrete mathematics, then she will not graduate." " If Miranda does not graduate, then she is not qualified for the job." "If Miranda reads this book, then she is qualified for the job." "Miranda does not lake a course in discrete mathematics but she reads this book."

Teachers in the Middle Ages supposedly tested the real time propositional logic ability of a student via a technique known as an obligato game. In an obligato game. a number of rounds is set and in each round the teacher gives the student successive assertions that the student must either accept or reject as they are given. When the student accepts an assertion, it is added as a commitment; when the student rejects an assertion its negation is added as a commitment. The student passes the test if the consistency of all commitments is maintained throughout the test.
