Jack is looking at Anne, but Anne is looking at George. Jack is married, but George is not. Is a married person looking at an unmarried person?

Hover to show the answer.

Yes.

There are only two possible cases: either Anne is married, or she is not.

If she is married, then a married person (Jack) is looking at an unmarried person (Anne). If she is not married, then a married person (Anne) is looking at an unmarried person (George).
