Yeah, but it doesn't tell us if he ever has more or less than $10 on any day that week...

Besides, the relationship is false, therefore we don't even know what the relationship between the amount of money in his pocket and buying a KFC is...Speaking of Erith:

And that's another point. Does having $10.01 negate the statement? It does say 10 dollars, not at least 10 dollars.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Yes, it's only IF he has $10, he doesn't have to have that much at any point in the week.
Take the query to mean $10 or more.
Don't know if the "if" should be taken as "if and ONLY if", though... probably not.Comment

No, the statement is automatically negated. The condition does not exist!Speaking of Erith:

How so? Because local currency is in rupees or something?Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Because nowhere are we told how much money is in his pocket!Speaking of Erith:

Equally the condition is false. It could be, in theory, the case where he will eat at KFC where he has more than or equal to $10 in his pocket, or if he has $20 in his pocket.Speaking of Erith:

The OP states that the statement has been falsified. It can only be falsified if he had more than $10 at least one day.Originally posted by Provost Harrison
Well how can you conclude (d)? Not only is there no data regarding his financial status, there is no rule on how to apply any such data if it exists. He could have eaten there on any number of the days in that week, including none. It is impossible to conclude, (e) is the nearest answer (only because the correct answer would be the fact that it is impossible to reach a conclusion, which is none of (a) to (d))
If he had less than $10 every day, he could do whatever he want without making the statement false."The world is too small in Vorarlberg". Austrian ex-vice-chancellor Hubert Gorbach in a letter to Alistar [sic] Darling, looking for a job...

You're inferring something into the statement that isn't there...Speaking of Erith:

It says 'the statement is false' not 'he didn't eat at KFC this week'.Speaking of Erith:

For each day there are several options:
a=he has less than $10
b=more than $10.
x=eat at KFC
y=doesn't eat at KFC
So, these are the permutations with true/false values:
a.x=TRUE
a.y=TRUE (since the statement doesn't specify at all what he ought to do when he has less than $10)
b.x=TRUE (that's the case specified by the statement)
b.y=FALSE
So, if we want a false statement we must have one "b.y" day, which means, at least one day he didn't eat at KFC."The world is too small in Vorarlberg". Austrian ex-vice-chancellor Hubert Gorbach in a letter to Alistar [sic] Darling, looking for a job...

The statement doesn't say if he has less than or more than, it says if he has $10. Nor does it tell us if he actually ate at KFC or not.Speaking of Erith:
