Question

In 2022, June Huh was awarded the Fields medal, which is the highest prize in Mathematics. When he was younger, he was also a poet. He did not win any medals in the International Mathematics Olympiads. He dropped out of college. Based only on the above information, which one of the following statements can be logically inferred with certainty?

• A. Every Fields medalist has won a medal in an International Mathematics Olympiad.
• B. Everyone who has dropped out of college has won the Fields medal.
• C. All Fields medalists are part-time poets.
• D. Some Fields medalists have dropped out of college.

Hint:

Avoid overgeneralizing. Only use the information given in the problem to make logical inferences.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The statement that June Huh dropped out of college does not imply that all Fields medalists have dropped out of college. We are only given specific information about one Fields medalist (June Huh). Thus, the only valid conclusion is that some Fields medalists, like June Huh, have dropped out of college.
