Setup and Rule Diagram Explanation
This is a Pure Sequencing game.
This game is discussed in detail in our podcast recap of PT1 Logic Games at https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/podcast/104/
The rules combine to form the following sequencing diagram:
Note that the placement of O and M can appear deceiving if you just visually analyze the diagram. O appears to be “after” K and J, but it does not have to be, and it is possible for O to be hired before K. Similarly, M appears to be “after” H and N, but it does not have to be, and it is possible for M to be hired before H.
As with all sequences, you should analyze the possibilities for the first and last variables. In this case, either H or K is the partner who joined the firm in 1961, and O, I, or M is the partner who joined the firm in 1968.
