I don't think the Rule was explained as clearly as it could have been.
"A card on one side ... the other side" I would have explained in more detail if I were conducting the test.
In my days as a computer programmer I dealt with thousands of logical situations like this.
Discreet Math was a college subject I enjoyed very much and did well.
Another college course I enjoyed but did not do terribly well was
"Law of Business Contracts".
That was very fun yet very difficult for me.
The exceptions seem to win out so often on analyzed real court case examples.

However, the point I was making does not challenge the logic, but goes to the ending statements and conclusions because, as pointed out, it is not just about reasoning; it must also consider common sense. So my point was that those believing in the theory of evolution use incorrect premises many times while discarding common sense. 😏
