How do you work questions that ask you to either substitute the rule or eliminate the rule?

Hello, crottman,

These are some of the most difficult Games questions. I'm not surprised you asked about them in particular.

Unfortunately, there is rarely a fast way to go about substitution or suspension Local questions. An important thing to keep in mind is that you should not use your main diagram to solve these questions. Your main diagram is the sum of not just the rules, but inferences that build upon those rules. You're far better off creating a new diagram from what rules you have left, rather than trying to determine exactly how removing or substituting a rule would alter the main diagram.

If you have any more specific questions, I or one of the other PowerScore tutors will be more than happy to assist you with them. :-D

Hope that helps,
Lucas Moreau

Hi Crottman,

I'm not sure if you are a PowerScore course student or a reader of the Logic Games Bible, but there is a lengthy discussion of these questions in the LGB, and in the L11 Supplemental area for the Full-length and full Live Online classes.

Thanks!

Yeah, exactly! There's a ton of useful stuff in the modules, and the bonus is that you can view them as often as you want :-D

Thanks and good luck!
