The other part of the sentence - "very hard for a man to live with me" is negated. why are we negating that part?

Hi, I like to treat the word "unless" to mean "if not"

In this case,that would mean it would be vh2l if not very strong, which is the contrapositive of what we see here.

Is there something that explains the symbols used in the answers? I shy away from doing the daily drills because its filled with these symbols and I cannot find anything to tell me what they mean.

Hi, those symbols are basically a shorthand for If Then statements. They way they are written, it turns "If POTUS Then you are over 35" into I P -> Over 35.
