(based on 3 votes)

Dr. Loon has discovered the following:
  1. Nothing that has its thorn could be anything other than a rose.
  2. Nothing that has its dawn could be anything other than a night.
  3. Nothing that sings a sad, sad song could be anything other than a cowboy.
  4. Everything that lacks its dawn and doesn't sing a sad, sad song is a rose.
  5. Every night lacking its thorn sings a sad, sad song.
  6. No cowboy lacking its dawn has its thorn.
  7. No rose that doesn't sing a sad, sad song has its dawn.
  8. No rose that is not also a night is a cowboy.

Which of these conclusions logically follows from the good doctor's findings?

Every rose has its thorn.
Every night has its dawn.
Every cowboy sings a sad, sad song.
All of the above.
None of the above.
