    The only problem with many of these is that the negatives are not absolute. The answer is technically "maybe".

    That's what I thought. But I definitely wasn't not all that sure.

    I gave up reading it. It's just gibberish and bad English. Not even idiots talk like that. At least not in my world.

    This is a math exorcise, not a language one. Language doesn't work like this.

    Anybody who writes sentences with so many conflicting negations needs to be hit over the head with a book on grammar, once for each negation and once again at the end just to be sure. You just don't not not not not not write unlike that.

    Kid Rock sings "we didn't have no internet". So did they have internet?

    Grammatically speaking, yes. But Kid Rock is barely literate so he probably meant 'no'.

    Like actual real people with half a brain cell would talk like this. If I had someone spouting negatory negative negatives at me I'd just walk away and brand them a moron. Not sure if that's fair, but that'd what I'd do.

    It's dumb but also pretty easy. Just count the contradictions.

    Counting the number of negations, basically. It'so not failing to not be not unexciting.

    As someone with a degree in English/Creative Writing, reading these hurt my brain and my soul. This is quite possibly the worst of the "idiotic quizzes" I've seen on BP so far, and that's saying something. These aren't even grammatically or linguistically challenging - most of them are just about counting how many "nots" are crammed into the entry and then using math to cross-reduce as if you're doing 3rd-grade fractions.

    Gave up after the first one. Not disliking is not the same as liking.

    So I did about the first three or four before realising that they're all essentially the same. Either you can ad up the negatives or you can't, why did someone think they needed 21 questions to demonstrate this?
