Tricky logical question

[Conceptually-made]

Humans usually characterize themselves as rational beings but we are often not as rational as we think we are. I found a very good example of this on youtube.

Example:

Sam is looking at Steve and Steve is looking at Pam. Sam is married and Pam is unmarried. Is a married person looking at an unmarried person?

a) yes

b) no

c) not enough information

post your answers bellow. I will reveal the correct answer in an hour.

 

the correct andwer is yes. Although we don’t know whether Steve is married or not the answer is yes. Because in case of Steve being married he as a married person would be looking at pam (unmarried). Now if Steve wasn’t married there would be Sam (married) looking at him.
