Setup and Rule Diagram Explanation
This is an Advanced Linear Game: Unbalanced: Overloaded.
This game uses a repeating variable set—the sports—to fill in the seasonal slots for each of the two children. Within the game there are three important restrictions:
In addition, because H is offered only during the winter, Nikki will not participate in H during the year. This inference is tested in question #20.
Because Otto participates in V during summer, Otto will not participate in V in any other season, meaning that Otto’s only options for fall are M and R, and Otto’s only options for spring are K, M, and R.
This is an Advanced Linear Game: Unbalanced: Overloaded.
This game uses a repeating variable set—the sports—to fill in the seasonal slots for each of the two children. Within the game there are three important restrictions:
- 1. From the first rule, each child participates in four different sports, and thus once a child participates in a sport, he or she does not participate in that sport in another season.
2. From the second-to-last rule, the two children cannot participate in the same sport during the same season. Thus, once one of the children participates in a particular sport, the other child cannot participate in that same sport during that same season.
3. The winter season is particularly restricted because the children have only two sport options: H and V. And, H is offered only during the winter.
In addition, because H is offered only during the winter, Nikki will not participate in H during the year. This inference is tested in question #20.
Because Otto participates in V during summer, Otto will not participate in V in any other season, meaning that Otto’s only options for fall are M and R, and Otto’s only options for spring are K, M, and R.
