#22 - Global, Could Be True

[Administrator]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=4937)

The correct answer choice is (B)

Answer choice (A) is incorrect because it violates the third rule. Answer choice (C) is incorrect because it K cannot work on Wednesday (O is already there). Answer choice (D) is incorrect because it violates the last rule. Answer choice (E) is incorrect because no supervisor would be assigned to Tuesday. Thus, answer choice (B) is correct (and, in answer choice (B), P would also have to work on Monday).

Can you explain how D is conflicting with last rule .

I mean if

you can have K on monday and Thursday with N. which make K woke first day during the week.

Thank you

Sure! Let's start by taking a closer look at the last rule again, and I'll add italics for emphasis:

"Any day on which Kevin works is the first day during the week that some other staff member works."

So, if Kevin is working on a day, the other person working with him that day is working for the first time that week.

Under answer choice (D), Nan works with Ophelia first on Wednesday, and then with Kevin on Thursday, so Thursday with Kevin won't be her first working day that week, a violation of that last rule.

Please let me know if that helps. Thanks!

Very tricky rule , I was rushing

For question 22 which states "which one of the following could be true?" there are 4 cannot be true incorrect answers and 1 could be true correct answer right?

After reading the explanation to this question, I understand why Answer B is correct. However, it wasn't immediately clear to me that P could work on Monday and on Tuesday. At first glance, answer B seemed wrong to me because I thought it violated the rule that S cannot appear before P.

Is it possible to figure out a ratio for this game? If yes, could you please tell me what is the ratio?


Thank you so much in advance!

For my reference (L4- game #5)
