Hello to you all,

I am trying to prove the following:

\[\vdash \left ( p\rightarrow \left ( p\rightarrow q \right ) \right )\rightarrow \left ( p\rightarrow q \right )\]

I was given a table with the proof stages, and I had to fill the blanks. Sometimes the blanks were the rule or axiom used in this stage, and sometimes it was the result of using the rule/axiom. I filled all, but I can't figure out the last stage. More specifically, I can't figure out which rule / axiom was used in the last stage (stage 7). I have completed all other stages, and I think it's correct.

I am attaching as figures, the table of the proof, the 3 axioms I am allowed to use (I am using the L deductive system), and 4 statements which were proved already and can be used. In addition, the only inference rule is the modus ponens.

Thank you in advance for helping me complete the last stage.

I think 7 follows by MP from 3 and 6.
 
I think you are correct, I didn't see it. Thank you ! (Yes)
 
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
