I was able to determine "flip the 8" due to my study of logic and AI: Modus ponens.
Unfortunately, I forgot about Modus Tollens, and forgot about the "Green" card.
The fact of the matter remains: the typical human does not study basic logic. And basic logic is hard to do without proper study. In fact, verifying that you must flip the 8 and green basically requires the human to "make the leap" and fully understand Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens.
