#2 - Global, Cannot Be True

[Dave Killoran]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=6413)

The correct answer choice is (D)

As discussed during the analysis of the third rule, Q cannot be given on Thursday morning as that ultimately creates a violation of the first rule. Thus, answer choice (D) is correct.

Hi,

I don't understand why Q can not go on Thursday morning if Q goes on Thursday morning then R and S go on Wednesday and J and K goes on Friday which leaves Q and N for Thursday which doesn't violate any rules so I'm confused about how D is correct?

Hi E,

Go through the rules again with your placements, and focus on what happens with the third rule (which fills Friday with K and N, not J and N as you suggested was possible), and then watch what happens with J. You're going to run out of room for the variables to conform to the three rules.

Whenever you reverse engineer a problem like this, and you know the answer is (D), there's going to be a rule violation somewhere along the line. It happens here too, so try again with the variable placements.

Good luck!
