Venn diagram (Correctly Euler circles) shows all possibilities which do not violates any given premises. All actors are dancers do not violate any given premise. So it is shown in the diagrams.

Hello All,
This is only for those who are very poor to understand syllogism. I assure you can understand very well through my given examples.
Here already discussed that.
*. ALL+ALL = ALL.
Means Suppose All Pens are chair & ALL chairs are tables.
It means that both the statements have all in First.
So, this can be written as All pens are tables.
Hope you understand well.

First know All=A, NO=E, SOME=I, O=SOME NOT, O* = O revers.
Let A+A=A.
A+E=E.
E+A=O*.
E+I=O*.
I+A=I.
I+E=O.
A+I=NC(no conclusion).
A+O=NC.
I+I=NC.
FOLLOW THIS METHOD A LITTLE BIT EASY TO SOLVE.

All I can say is done use venn diagram method because its just results in frustration am I right? so here we go, use UP/UN method to solve syllogism. Its difficult to understand but if you get the perfect idea you can solve syllogism easily.. Shocking? but trust me guys it needs hours of practice to master in that but when you got that trick you can solve syllogism in your mind no need of pen pencil paper etc etc. So guys what for you still waiting just google it (UP-UN method) thats it my friends.
