One of those questions

Depends if this if I am

Almost any non-sequitur would work, or answering the question with another. If you accept the premise of the question, you must answer yes. If you ignore the question, and answer something else entirely, there's no question (thus no need to answer "no"), and you're not forced to accept that it is a question (thus no need to answer "yes")

So my answer would be:

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Was this for a Philosophy course? Some of my flatmates do Philosophy, but I'm more at home in the realm of numbers (I'm studying BSc Maths). I remember something like that happening to a friend of mine ages ago, just trying to remember the actual story of what happened. Vaguely similar to this, though... Anyway, if this is a question? Then this is an answer. But if this isn't an answer, then is this a question?

Basically, something we learned in Maths is that if one statement is true, it doesn't mean that it's converse (opposite) is also true. Like, you can say that all rabbits are blue, that doesn't mean that everything blue is a rabbit. However, you can also say that all fruits are an orange, and then say that all oranges are fruit (obviously these are hypothetical examples). That is a case where the converse is true. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Off-topic, I know, but an interesting point nonetheless...

There are a bunch of rules for truth diagrams. It depends on whether it's an if/then statement, and and statement, and or statement, or something else. Classical logic is pretty mathematical at its core. Just remember:

God is Love
Love is Blind
Therefore
Ray Charles is God
