3. Before you sit three chests – one made of wood, one of stone, and one of steel. You know that one of the chests contains a great treasure, while the other two contain vicious, angry, man- eating, deadly poisonous scorpions (also known as scorpions). On each chest hangs a sign, giving you information about which chest contains the treasure. Problem is, you do not know which signs are true and which are false. The signs read: Wood chest: If the sign on the stone chest is true, then the treasure is not in the steel chest. Stone chest: Exactly two of these signs are false. Steel chest: The treasure is in a chest with a false sign. Which chest contains the treasure? Prove your answer is correct.

After discovering an ancient buried artifact made of wood, you decide to perform a radiometric analysis to determine the age of the artifact. You know that half of the mass of wood is in the form of Carbon. You also know that about one out of every trillion (1012) Carbon atoms in living plant material is a Carbon-14 atom (the vast majority of Carbon atoms are Carbon-12). If you analyze a 0.21-kg sample of your wooden artifact, there would be...
