<p>A simple interactive truth table for proving the validity of Hypothetical Syllogism:<br />

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="http://inquiry.mcdaniel.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/truthTableHypotheticalSyllogism.swf"></param>
<param name="quality" value="high"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="window"></param>
<param name="menu" value="false"></param>
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"></param>
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="400" src="http://inquiry.mcdaniel.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/truthTableHypotheticalSyllogism.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" wmode="window" menu="false" ></embed>
</object>
<br />
Click &#8216;start&#8217; to begin. Then click on the &#8216;P,&#8217; &#8216;Q&#8217; and &#8216;R&#8217; on the left to drag the truth-values to the atomic components of the sentences. You&#8217;ll see a T/F appear under each connective. Set the correct values and click on &#8216;Check&#8217; to verify. When the table is completed, it will prompt you to highlight any rows with a false conclusion, and then circle the truth-values of the premises to verify if they are both true. If there are no rows with true premises and a false conclusion, it&#8217;s valid (by definition).</p>
