Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=16021)
The correct answer choice is (D)
As in many games, the first question in this game is a List question. The optimal attack for List
questions is as always to apply one rule at a time to each of the five answer choices, eliminating
answer choices from consideration until only one answer choice remains. In choosing the first rule
to apply, try to choose a rule that can be easily applied from a visual standpoint. In this game, the
LV block and the Not Laws on table 3 are the easiest to apply. The 3-2-2 distribution, although not
difficult to apply, is more time consuming than the other two rules and thus should be applied last.
Applying the LV block rule eliminates answer choice (C). Applying the Not Laws on table 3 eliminates
answer choices (A) and (B), as well as (C) again. Finally, applying the 3-2-2 numerical distribution
rule eliminates answer choice (E). Answer choice (D) is thus proven correct by process of elimination.
