    Hi JY,

    Quick question on number 18. Can’t answer A) also be a complete and accurate list of professors hired from 89 – 91? We could stack SP in 1992. Couldn’t we?

    89: N
    0: O
    1: R
    ——
    2: PS

      Holy snaps. I just realized mistake – never mind! I misread the question; it’s asking for ALL professors that could be hired in those years…not a possible combination.

      Crikeys.

        Do you have suggestions on avoiding that mistake? How to tell the difference between a question listing ALL possibilities versus one possible combination? The wording is so similar.

          Hey Quinn, it’s tough. The question wants a “a complete and accurate list of the professors who could have been hired in the years 1989 – 1991″. (A) gives us an accurate list, but it’s not complete, because P could also have been hired in those years.

    Hi
    Just a quick question about the empty spot in year 94. In order to conclude that the spot in year 94 is empty, I guess you have to assume that all professors are hired exactly once from 1989 to 1995, but where in the question stem can you find that assumption? When I read the question stem, I never got the impression that such assumption exists, so I got Q19 wrong. Could you plz explain? Thanks!

      Hey Sye, yes, you do have to assume that all professors are hired exactly once from ’89-’95.
