Errata List - 5th Edition Guide: Logic Games?

[RebekahS466]

Does the third example (3. Ordering Rules + the Construction of the Game) on pg. 42 in Chapter 2 of the Logic Games Strategy Guide (5th Edition) have a typo? It seems as if 'N' and 'K' have switched places in the diagram. If it correct, could someone explain it to me? I'm stumped.

Thank you for your help!

Here's the Errata page for the 5th edition:
https://www.manhattanprep.com/lsat/errata/

There doesn't seem to be a typo on pg. 42, though.

If I had a rule, 'K before N", written
K -- N
I can infer that
N can't be 1st
K can't be Last

So if we had 6 spots, I could write a ~N under spot 1 and a ~K under spot 6.

The rule we have is
K _ N

The earliest we can put K is 1, so the earliest we will see N is 3.

Thus, N will never be in spots 1 or 2. The diagram is saying underneath "N can't be in 1. N can't be in 2"

Similarly, the latest I can put N is 6th, so the latest I can put K is 4th. That's we see "K can't be 5th or 6th" under the diagram.

Make sense?

Yes, thank you for your help.

Hi, I tried to submit what I believe is an error for p.475 of the LG 5th edition book but the link isn't working. The explanation for 2 states that the student must be assigned to either M or T and I don't understand how that inference was made. LP must be in M or T but I can't see where SHR is restricted from being in V. It doesn't affect the answer for this question but I was just curious.
