SKIT – TOK ASSEMBLY
Characters:
Psychologist- Somiran
Detective- Jeet
Audience people (3) - Aashna, Ramya, Rahul Sheth
Psychologist’s office. Waiting for patient
Detective enters
Detective: Doctor! The world has lost all reason! Nobody understands my amazing intellect!!
Psychologist: maybe I will. Please elaborate.
Detective: It all started that day……….
…..I was investigating the murder of young Mr and Mrs Blah. I was about to crack the case when the police inspector’s nine year old cracked it before me!!
Psychologist: But what were the case details?
Detective (stands up and starts pacing): the couple lived in a round house with their maid, butler and cook. They were found murdered one morning. When questioned, the cook claimed to be chopping vegetables with a knife in the kitchen, the butler was polishing Mr’s axe, while the maid was sweeping the corners of the house. I knew it was the cook, but the darn child claimed she knew better! (Ask the audience) Do you know who she said the murderer was??
Aashna: THE MAID!!
A round house has no corners. The maid was lying, of course!!
Detective is stunned for a moment (stunned actions and music)
Detective: Okaayyy.. (Fuming): the second case is much harder, a true test of intelligence and reasoning.
Psychologist: Calm down and tell me what happened
Detective: Ms. Blah came to with a complaint that she had been swindled out of her cats. She said that the real estate agent promised to sell her a square room with a cat in every corner, with 3 cats in front of each and a cat at the end of each tail. She said that the room she got had fewer cats than she was promised, and according to me she was right, and the man was lying. But again! The young lady’s even younger sister cracked this one and walked with the credit proving the man innocent. (To the audience) How many cats do you think she was due?
Rahul: 32!! Of course
Ramya: no, duh! The answer is 4! Think about it. 4 corners for a square. 1 cat in each corner. 3 corners in front of each one corner therefore 3 cats in front of each cat. Each cat is attached or, at the end of, its own tail! Therefore, there were 4 cats due!
Detective faints.
Psychologist: to reach a conclusion, to know an answer, reasoning is very important. Knowledge and arguments devoid of reason do not withstand the truth tests of coherence and correspondence. Reason is a primary means of confirming beliefs. Knowing, that knowledge is justified true belief, we know that Reasoning and logic are two tools necessary to make a knowledge claim. As seen, reasoning is a skill that one develops…(wry smile) unless of course you are like Detective XxxxX
