#22 - Global, Could Be True

[Dave Killoran]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=303&t=7341)

The correct answer choice is (B)

Our analysis of the distribution shows that I, L, K, and G cannot attend class with P. This information eliminates answer choices (A), (C), and (D) from further consideration.

Because one of N or S must attend the first class alone, answer choice (E) can be eliminated.

Thus, answer choice (B) is correct.

Happy Thanksgiving Sherry!

P could pair with N or S, but not both. You always have to have either N or S in the 1st class.** So if you put both of them with P, there is no one left who can go 1st.

(**K can't go first because the 3rd rule says she's not the first student. G/H/I can't go first because the 3rd rule says that K is the first female. L can't go 1st because the 1st rule says L has to go with I. P can't go first because the 4th rule says that G has to be before P. O can't go first because the 5th rule says that G is before O.)

Hope that helps!

Best,
Kelsey
