Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=8712)
The correct answer choice is (E)
Since each answer choice contains two film buffs, the 2-4-1 fixed distribution applies. Under that distribution we have already inferred that L, V, and Y each see the Hitchcock film, and so any answer choice that contains L, V, or Y would be correct (remember, this is an Except question). Answer choice (E) contains V and Y and is therefore correct.
This game provides an excellent example of how the test makers use Numerical Distributions. Many of the questions force you to examine the templates created by each distribution and then attack the answer choices. The distributions are central to understanding this game: if you do not identify the distributions, the questions in this game cannot be answered correctly.
