#19 - Global, Could Be True

[Dave Killoran]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=272&t=8596)

The correct answer choice is (B)

Template #1 indicates that J, P, and N could be at Souderton. Template #2 adds O to the list. Accordingly, answer choice (B) is correct.

Hi there,

How would you go about solving this problem in the case you did not have time to make templates? Would you attack the questions in terms of if they violated certain rules, and if so, in what order would you attack them? Would you opt to use the conditional chain that this game creates?

Hi mmhubbar,

If you don't use templates, then this is just a list question.

Answer choice (A) would be eliminated because of the first rule (Js Kr)
Answer choice (C) would be eliminated because we can never have Ls because of the conflicting conditionals in rules 3-5.
Answer choice (D) would be eliminated because of the last rule (Pr Ks)
Answer choice (E) would be eliminated because of the 4th rule (Nr Or)

It's doable without the templates, but significantly slower. It takes a bit of time to think through which are in R based on who is in S.

Hope that helps!
