Question

challenge #1
read the statements and circle the letter according to whether the statement is true (t) or false (f).

statement	true	false
the sun and moon were created on the fifth day. (genesis 1:16-19)	l	r
animals were created after humans. (genesis 1:24-26)	e	v
god created birds and sea creatures on the fifth day. (genesis 1:20-23)	p	b
god rested on the seventh day. (genesis 2:2)	y	k
god told adam and eve not to eat from any tree in the garden. (genesis 2:16-17)	n	o
adam named the animals. (genesis 2:19-20)	a	h
god created man before he created plants and animals. (genesis 1:26-30)	f	c

if your letters include o r y a f then your clue is 2
if your letters include p v k o a then your clue is 9
if your letters include g c p y r then your clue is 3

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each statement's truth value

- "Plants and trees were created on the third day (Genesis 1:12 - 13)": True (G)
- "The sun and moon were created on the fifth day (Genesis 1:16 - 19)": False (R) (they were created on the fourth day)
- "Animals were created after humans (Genesis 1:24 - 26)": False (V) (animals were created before humans)
- "God created birds and sea creatures on the fifth day (Genesis 1:20 - 23)": True (P)
- "God rested on the seventh day (Genesis 2:2)": True (Y)
- "God told Adam and Eve not to eat from any tree in the garden (Genesis 2:16 - 17)": False (O) (He told them not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, not any tree)
- "Adam named the animals (Genesis 2:19 - 20)": True (A)
- "God created man before He created plants and animals (Genesis 1:26 - 30)": False (C) (plants and animals were created before man)

Step2: Collect the letters for false statements

False statements' letters: R (2nd), V (3rd), O (6th), C (8th)

Wait, no, wait. Wait, the "True" and "False" columns: for each statement, if it's false, we take the letter in the False column. Let's re - do:

1. Statement 1: True → G (True column)
2. Statement 2: False → R (False column)
3. Statement 3: False → V (False column)
4. Statement 4: True → P (True column)
5. Statement 5: True → Y (True column)
6. Statement 6: False → O (False column)
7. Statement 7: True → A (True column)
8. Statement 8: False → C (False column)

Now, the false statements are 2,3,6,8. Their False column letters: R, V, O, C.

Now check the clue boxes:

First box: letters O, R, Y, A, F → clue 2. Our false letters: R, V, O, C. Wait, maybe we need to take True letters? Wait, maybe I messed up. Let's check the true statements:

True statements: 1 (G), 4 (P), 5 (Y), 7 (A). So True letters: G, P, Y, A. Wait, no, let's list all True column letters for true statements:

1. True → G
4. True → P
5. True → Y
7. True → A

False column letters for false statements:

2. False → R
3. False → V
6. False → O
8. False → C

Now, let's check the clue boxes:

Third box: letters G, C, P, Y, R. Let's see our letters: G (from 1), P (from 4), Y (from 5), R (from 2), C (from 8). Yes! G, C, P, Y, R are all in our collected letters (G, P, Y, R, C). So the clue for this set of letters is 3.

Wait, maybe the correct approach is: for each statement, determine if it's true or false based on Genesis, then collect the letters (either from True or False column), then see which clue box has those letters.

Let's re - evaluate each statement with Genesis knowledge:

1. Plants and trees on day 3 (Genesis 1:11 - 13): True. So take G (True column).
2. Sun and moon on day 5? Genesis 1:14 - 19: sun, moon, stars on day 4. So False. Take R (False column).
3. Animals after humans? Genesis 1:20 - 25 (animals) then 1:26 (humans). So animals before humans. False. Take V (False column).
4. Birds and sea creatures on day 5 (Genesis 1:20 - 23): True. Take P (True column).
5. God rested on day 7 (Genesis 2:2): True. Take Y (True column).
6. God told Adam and Eve not to eat from any tree? Genesis 2:16 - 17: "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil". So False. Take O (False column).
7. Adam named the animals (Genesis 2:19 - 20): True. Take A (True column).
8. Man before plants and animals? Genesis 1:11 - 13 (plants), 1:20 - 25 (animals), 1:26 (man). So False. Take C (False column).

Now, collect all letters (True and False columns, but maybe the clue is based on a combination). Let's list all letters we have: G (1), R (2), V (3), P (4), Y (5), O (6), A (7), C (8).

Now check the clue boxes:

- First box: O, R, Y, A, F. We have O, R, Y, A but no F.
- Second box: P, V, K, O, A. We have P, V, O, A but no K.
- Third box: G, C, P, Y, R. We have G, C, P, Y, R. Yes! G (1), C (8), P (4), Y (5), R (2) are all in this set. So the clue for these letters is 3.
