Hi! Can someone explain to me why # 7 is N and not Y? I've draw box and venn diagrams over and over and I always get an "at least one" in the overlap between "bakes cupcakes," "bakes bread" and "know how to use some oven or stove." Drill is on Page 851, answer...

I'm glad I came across this. I spent a whole evening diagramming p851 Q7! It turns out I was right...

Thanks!

Hi. I don't see any explanations for the 2nd LR section of PT 79.

Struggling with question 19...

Thanks!

Hi, Can you explain to me why number 23 is not diagrammed like this: G or F is at the party unless H and K are. -G or -F --> H AND K (-H or -K --> G AND F) In the book, both necc and suff terms have an "OR." I use the "unless = neccessary, negate sufficent" method. Thanks! ...

Is it possible to repost this diagram? The attached PDF looks like the first couple of pages is missing.

Thanks!

Thanks Laura! So your setup is a basic ordering setup that requires a bit of a zig zag? I found it hard to picture because "consecutive" seemed so ambiguous. Consecutively ordered on a report card? The scoring scale for PT 5 was very generous... maybe because of this game... Cheers! Barb

I had an inkling that one A was the right answer, and I waffled, however a couple of things made me choose E. A - In this scenario, wouldn't the non-compete clause be part of a contract between the former employer and the former employee. Why would the new company have any interest in a lawsuit they...

I am also looking for some guidance with this game. Totally doable with mpreps diagramming... only thing is I ended up with 3 diagrams: logic chain, in/out T chart, 3D number line... + those side rules with an asterix. Long story short... it took me about eight years to draw all this... not much tim...

Hi Laura! Thanks for the scratchwork! Mine was not that different from yours except my number line was on top, subdivided logic chain under that, a subdivided T Chart to the right + the conditional rules. Also, I add anti-chunk boxes of the things that cannot go together. I wasn't super efficient as...

Hi. I'm reading this thread, and I'm still not quite sure what the question is asking. It looks like it wants a principle that could justify either side, but the discussion is explaining B as the correct answer because is justifies the rehab group. I was thinking D, because it could be used to justi...

I chose A because it was pretty close to my prediction. However, I paused because the answer bridged the gap in a way that felt like a sufficient assumption and not a necessary one. Is it because the stimulus and AC phrase things in the negative that this is a necessary and not a sufficient assumpti...

Ah... so we are not looking for an AC that can go either way. We are looking for principle that supports one of the positions... we just are not told which one.

Is this understanding correct?

What a nasty question!

General question about these Q types: I've seen "strongest counter" questions before and have been a bit confused how to approach. For this one the ACs make it look like a weaken Q. I have also seen one before where the ACs all looked like answers to flaw Qs and included some famous flaws....

Ok. So more like weaken than flaw?
