Anyone know what the answer to this would be?
A implies B
C implies not B
What happens when both A and C occur?

I just asked my brother if he wanted to play basketball with me and my father. He said (as a joke) if I were going, he wouldn't go, but if my father were going, he would go. We were both going. So mathematically, which would he do?

The statemetn (A \Rightarrow B) \wedge (C \Rightarrow \neg B) \wedge (A \wedge C) is identically false. IOW your brother lied. [:)]
