Diagram

by ManhattanPrepLSAT2 Thu Oct 27, 2011 4:50 pm

Here is a possible set of diagrams (one with frames, one without) for this game. This diagram was made in conjunction with our October LSAT Review Workshop, and Manhattan LSAT students can also watch a recording of that workshop.

Keep in mind that, as always, the diagram is not meant to represent a "definitive" way to set up a game, but rather just one very effective approach. Different Manhattan LSAT instructors will set up different games in different ways, and deciding which inferences to keep in your head and which ones to note down (for example, after we drew our initial diagram, we could have replaced a slot with a box for the third row b/c we know it must always have at least three) is always a subjective process -- as long as your diagram helps you keep straight a clear understanding of the game, and helps you take command of the rules, you'll be in great shape.

If you have alternative suggestions for how to diagram this game, we'd love to hear them. Enjoy!
