Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=1655)
The correct answer choice is (E)
In this List question, if you use just the given rules, only rules #2 and #3 provide useful information. Thus, the easiest approach is to use the archaeologist row from the diagram to attack the answer choices.
Answer choice (A): According to the second rule, O cannot have discovered the fourth site, and thus this answer choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (B): From our discussion of the setup to this game, we know that G cannot discover the first site, and hence this answer choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (C): From the combination of the first and third rules of the game, we know that G cannot have discovered the second site, and so this answer choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (D): The second rule stipulates that G discovered exactly one of the sites. Because this answer choice shows G discovering two of the sites, it is incorrect.
With the first four answer choices eliminated, answer choice (E) is proven correct.
