How is this logically bad?
4 is larger than 5.
5 is larger than 6.
Therefore, 6 is larger than 4.
Ignore the fact that it's factually bad. How is this LOGICALLY bad?

What this guy said.
4>5 and 5>6 are the premises.
6>4 is the conclusion.
From a logic standpoint, assuming that the premise is true the conclusion should be true, making it valid. However, the conclusion is invalid because it does not agree with the premise. Furthermore this argument isn't sound either because the premise is false, but that's a whole other issue.
LOL, this made me laugh

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYIN'! YO! The teacher was like, "this is easy..." I was like "no..." It took me like ten minutes to even comprehend what the statement was even saying... And I get what the first poster is saying, but can't you draw conclusions from previous statements?
@Simwalker Okay, I get it now... Wow, that took me like a bajillion years to get... I must be stupid... Guess I need this logic class then... Hopefully I won't totally bomb the tests...
If 4 > 5
