We show some ideas from the polish philosopher Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz
about interrogative sentences and some classifications
of answers. We resort to First Order and Doxastic Logic in order
to express some of his results and we also recourse to normal and
non normal squares and hexagons of opposition to express his
findings. Finally we say some words about a relationship found
in the medieval octagons of opposition which is not found in
the traditional square; this relation is found also in our doxastic
hexagon of presuppositions.
