Homework Statement


A: Albert survived the plane crash
B: Bill survived the plane crash
C: Cory survived the plane crash

Create the sentence (sentential logic) "at most one of them will survive the plane crash".

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


[tex] \sim[(A\&B)\vee((B\&C)\vee(C\&A))][/tex]

(In case people use a slightly different notation: ~ = 'negation', v = 'or', & = and)

I think this covers all the cases where they do have two or three survivors. Can anyone see anything wrong with my logic?

Thanks!

I don't see anything wrong with that. If 0 or 1 survive, it's true, if two or three survive it's false.
