We will apply Mathematical Induction to the following statement

All horses have the same color pattern

  1. Induction Hypothesis: Any set of horses have the same color pattern.
  2. Base case: For we have a single horse, so there can be only one color pattern.
  3. Inductive Step: Assume that the statement is true for . Take the set with horses. By our hypothesis the set of horses has a single color pattern, and the set also has a single color pattern. Since this must be the color pattern of their intersection set , then the entire set of horses has the same color.

Conclusion

All three elements of mathematical induction are fulfilled. Can you spot the logical error?
