Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=246&t=32245)
The correct answer choice is (D)
If Z
U, then Z was born in 1990, as in Template #1:
Hence, answer choice (D) is correct.
Once again, if you had difficulty creating the scenario above, the solution from question #12 can be used to eliminate answer choices (A) and (B).
This game is a model example of an Advanced Linear game. Our organized attack features two key pieces: first, we created two “E” placeholders to compensate for the Unbalanced aspect of the game; second, we attacked the rules by linkage, and we kept a close watch on the two not-blocks, especially the LL not-block as the game contained three L’s. These two steps reduced the game to a simple exercise in tracking the fourth rule, the only remaining active rule (a quick survey of the questions reveals that every Local question references either T, W, or Z). Students able to recognize the restriction inherent in the fourth rule can then create two templates to attack the game.
