#14 - Local, Could Be True

[Administrator]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14119)

The correct answer choice is (E)

If L is not serviced on Saturday, then Template #2 is in effect. In that template, S is serviced on Friday, and thus answer choice (E) cannot be true and is therefore correct.

I had some trouble with #14

Hi Brittney,

Since it says "each of the following could be true EXCEPT," the correct answer we're looking for CANNOT be true. If L can't go on Saturday, then P has to, because H can't be on Saturday (from rule 1) and V, L, R, and S all have to have something come before them (from rules 2 and 4). If P is on Saturday, S is on Friday, because from rule 3 we know either V or S has to be right next to P, and it can't be V since R and H need to come after V. Therefore we KNOW the answer is E, since S has to be on Saturday and therefore cannot be on Wednesday.
