Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=385&p=94172)

The correct answer choice is (B)

Answer choice (A) is incorrect because the three managers would all supervise the same employee (F), a violation of the game scenario stipulations.

Answer choice (C) is incorrect because F must be a technician.

Answer choice (D) is incorrect because there is only one president per the first rule.

Answer choice (E) is incorrect because the four managers would have no employees to supervise.

Note that answer choices (A), (D), and (E) also violate the numerical distributions of the game.

Accordingly, answer choice (B) is correct.

This is our List question. As always for List questions, we just run through our rules in order to cross out the wrong answers. Rule 1 means answer choice (D) is out. Rule 2 doesn't get rid of any answer choices. Rule 3 gets rid of (E) and (A). Rule 4 gets rid of (C). So we're left with our correct answer, (B).

Just tried this game and couldn't figure out who was under what position using the spaces/commas (see pic) right away. I hope it wasn't this way on the actual LSAT, although given it was 1995, might have been fine on the exam booklet. Can it be formatted to make it easier to visualize?

Thank you!

Hi lsat,

This doesn't look like PowerScore's interface, so I can't speak to the formatting in the screenshot. Our testing interface adds a few more spaces in between each to make it a little easier to understand.

But regardless of the interface, this is an example of how these older tests don't exactly translate well to the digital format! It didn't appear quite like this on the actual exam booklet. But it's difficult, if not impossible, to fit this formatting into the digital interface. You may come across a few other odd scenarios like this in the older exams.

But the good news is that recent exams are designed with the digital testing environment in mind.

Thanks!
