What conclusion can we reach? If you reached a correct conclusion, then you've properly performed a logical calculation.

Examples (from p. 175, Lewis Carroll in Numberland)
Let us agree that a Red Counter, placed within a Cell, shall mean "This Cell is occupied" (i.e. "There is at least one Thing in it").
Let us also agree that a Red Counter, placed on the partition between two Cells, shall mean "The Compartment, made up of these two Cells, is occupied; but it is not known whereabouts, in it, its occupants are." Hence it may be understood to mean "At least one of these two Cells is occupied: possibly both are."
Our ingenious American cousins have invented a phrase to describe the condition of a man who has not yet made up his mind which of two political parties he will join: such a man is said to be "sitting on the fence." This phrase exactly describes the condition of the Red Counter.
Let us also agree that a Grey Counter, placed within a Cell, shall mean "This Cell is empty" (i.e. "There is nothing in it").
possibly valid?
