#12 - Local, Could Be True

[Dave Killoran]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=1064)

The correct answer choice is (C)

If L is the only workshop on Monday (Template #2B in the setup) then S must be on Tuesday and Wednesday. That means that one of either P or R could be scheduled on Wednesday with S, or P and R could both be scheduled for Thursday and Friday. Since it could be true that S is the only workshop scheduled for Wednesday, answer choice (C) is correct.

Shouldn't these 2 combinations be valid as well:
M-T-W-Th-F
L-LS-SP-PR-R or L-LS-SR-RP-P

Or did I miss a rule or inference?

If they are valid, how does it impact the answer to question 12?

Thank you!

Hi Matt,

Yes, those two are both valid possibilities, but do not show up as answer choices in Question 12. The key inference in this game are that L and S must both be held on Tuesday. So Question 12 forces L into Monday and Tuesday, and S into Tuesday and Wednesday. This immediately eliminates answer choices (A), (B), (D) and (E), leaving us only with (C).

Thanks James.. With another review, I realized this is a "could be" question, so choice C is correct. If it was a "must be" question the 2 additional combinations I mentioned below would have made C incorrect.

Thanks again!
