Alphys' Self-Made Computer! [Part II]

Alphys recently got a virus in her computer. She claims that someone must have infected her computer, but Undyne claims that she tried to pirate Mew Mew Kissy Cutie 3 3

As the computer had quite valuable information, Asgore himself decides to access the computer and eliminate the virus. In 10 10 minutes, he comes with a virus-free computer. Everyone was quite surprised.

So here is the question, is Asgore more likely to be a king , or a \text{So here is the question, is Asgore more likely to be a \textbf{king}, or a}

king who is skilled in computer diagnostics? \textbf{king who is skilled in computer diagnostics?}

The pre information may be deceptive, but it is quite easy

Look at the Venn diagram below:

B shall be defined as all kings

A shall be defined as all kings who are skilled in computer diagnostics

Though it is likely that a king skilled in computer diagnostics would easily remove a virus, it is still a subset of B

Thus, set B, being a king, is always more likely than set A, as there are obviously kings who may not know computer diagnostics

wow, i just assumed that i missed some of the background info and forgot to use pure logic ;-)
nice problem with a lot of misleading information.

So, in summary, about 99% of the question is redundant and only the actual question matters. Lol

That is called "irrelevant information". You can actually practice spotting that out in https://brilliant.org/practice/sat-irrelevant-information/?subtopic=arithmetic&chapter=reasoning-skills

Thanks for the update [knowing that now your Brilliant LaTeX guide building is steadily turning into a wiki... but the legend is gone.]

Note that the set of "kings who are skilled in computer diagnostics" is a subset of "kings". So Asgore is more likely to be a king \boxed{\text{king}} .

To add, he possibly may have enlisted the help of someone who is skilled at using computers (possibly the Annoying Dog), so the lore checks out.

True facts @Elijah L , true facts...

Considering that the Annoying Dog was making a game while being in the Underground, that may make sense...

Ah nice, looks like I'll be playing a maths version of Undertale for a few days

Hey, isn't this our wonderful spammer buddy who's been spamming the challenges lately? @Frisk Dreemurr @Boe Jlogs (Why hasn't BM banned him yet? BM can have a bad sense of humor, but he can't dispose spammers? I'm starting to think he's got something personal with me lol)
