Logic Puzzle #4: ERROR

Hey everyone,

I made an error on my Logic Puzzle #4. I feel so embarassed . I put a similar answer on my problem set for this question and I got it wrong. It's arguable though. I still honestly don't believe that it's logically possible for Peter Pan to fly though or Santa Clause to know who's good or bad.

I think the TA was trying to tell me that the class didn't really understand the meaning of "It's logically possible that __________." However, the professor still wanted to mark it. Kind of unfair, but whatever.

There are actually many answers that you can have for this problem, here's one of them:
E = I exist and I don't exist - FALSE
R = It's raining in Vancouver today (October 5th 2006) - FALSE
** I put the date there so people can't argue with me someday later when it does rain **

It's logically possible that E = FALSE
It's logically possible that R = TRUE

Did I not mention that you can also put in two false values and prove that this a non-truth functional statement by having it spit out two different values? Whoops!
