Yurixx:
So "if the zapyrka is not blowing bubbles, it's not poisoned" is correct ?

We see a dustpan that is NOT bubbling, so it is NOT poisoned, because otherwise it would be bubbling
 
Integer:

3. if the dustpan is poisoned, it will immediately start bubbling.
1. if it bubbles, it has been poisoned; (no, it may bubble from something else)
2. if the bubble is not poisoned, it won't bubble (no, it may be bubbling from something else);
3. if the dustpan doesn't blow bubbles, it's not poisoned (since it blows bubbles from being poisoned, if it doesn't blow bubbles, it's definitely not poisoned, correct answer).


Yes, I agree, answer 3 is indisputable
 

I think this is the right one:

if you don't poison it, it won't bubble up

It will, it bubbles from overheating too, it's like this
 
Strong test, well done the author, impressed!
 
Mischek:

It will, it bubbles from overheating too, that's what it is.
but it turns out it can bubble either way and so there's no right answer.

let it bubble anyway, but if it is not bubbling now, it is definitely not poisoned

Yes, it's not you (not specifically you) who are stamping advisors-slitters!...)

No. If from A follows B, then from B does not follow A, but from non-B follows non-A. So the 3rd one is correct. :-)

I agree, although there is no complete information on the dustbin, it could have been poisoned yesterday and stopped bubbling for example.
