Thanks!
Hello EMD,
It sounds like that would make sense for any game, unless new rules have somehow been added, or old rules have been suspended in a particular problem.
E.g., if there's a rule "All zombies eat alligators", and a problem tells you that Fred is a zombie, the hypothetical (or question) of whether Fred eats alligators should be solvable by looking at the rule mentioned above. But if a question suspends the rule that all z's eat a's, then you may need additional information about Fred to see what he eats, rather than just relying on his being a zombie.
Hope this helps,
David
