Edward from Aquinas College in England explained why each pair of statements fit around a \Rightarrow or a \iff:
If Rover is a dog, he isn't a cat. If Rover's not a cat there are a lot of other things he could be.
If 2n-m<0 then m is bigger than 2n. It can't be the other way round: if n\lt m, we don't know that 2n\lt m
Sometimes, an example is helpful to show that something is not always true. It is not true that n-m is not zero \Rightarrow n+m is odd, because if m=4 and n=2 then n-m is not zero, but n+m is not odd.
n is even, n+1 is odd. even+odd=odd. It is reversible as odd-odd=even
If n is bigger than m, then n-m will be bigger than 0 as n\gt m rearranges to n-m\gt0
As n is a positive integer, if n^2 is odd then n must be odd.
Similarly, if n is odd then n^2 is odd. As odd\times odd=odd
If n\gt2 then n^3 will be greater than 5n as n has to be an integer
The nearest integer after 2 is 3
3^3=27 which is greater than 5\times3=15
It is reversible as if n^3\gt5n, n will be bigger than 2
James from KEGS in England answered the question of whether there is more than one possible solution:
To begin with, I established all possible implicative relationships using the following visual aid:
There are 4 pairs of statements which imply the other, therefore these must be the 4 pairs in the solution, indicated by
Rover is a dog \Rightarrow Rover is not a cat, there are no other connections to these two.
In the same way, 2n-m\lt0\Rightarrow n\lt m
As with n+m is odd \Rightarrow n-m is not zero
This leaves the statements n\gt1 \Rightarrow n\gt0
