#9 - Global, Could Be True, List

[Dave Killoran]

Complete Question Explanation

(The complete setup for this game can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=386&t=3729)

The correct answer choice is (B)

According to the third rule, K > S, and so answer choice (B) cannot be true and is correct. In that
answer, S would be first, K second, and F third, causing the violation.

Hello:

Please explain or illustrate why B is the answer.

How can K be second when the stimulus states that Ron chose the knife before the spoon? In any event, isn't KFS before wj OR mp before wj? I'm obviously missing something.
Thanks!!

Hello,

I think it is possible you missed that the question is asking for the answer that CANNOT be an accurate list of the objects. B cannot be an accurate list for the reason you stated: the knife needs to be selected before the spoon, and since the utensils all need to be washed consecutively, answer B would require that the spoon be washed first - which would violate the rules. The other answers could all occur without violating a rule.

Does that answer your question?

Hi Emily:

YES! I see it now. I often do this and it costs me a lot of time trying to figure out what I do not understand. In this case I tried so many times before asking for assistance.

Thanks!!!!
