For number 5, I said kittens adopted ←s→ homes with children. Is that the same as kitten —m→ /home-children? On the module for "Few" it said Few meant "some are" and "most are not". x←s→y. and x—m→ /y
Referencing #5, is it safe to assume if "than half" or a phrase representing half is used, then we'll use most in some way? I know it might not always be this way, but just trying to get this straight in my head.
LSAT logic question for you all - if someone 'usually exercises on Monday,' does that definitely mean they exercise on Monday more than 50% of the time?
What if they work out 100 times total: 49 workouts on Monday, and the other 51 workouts split evenly across Tue-Sun (about 8-9 each day). Monday is still their most common workout day, but it's not actually the majority of their workouts.
Would you still say they 'usually exercise on Monday' in this case? Trying to figure out how strict the LSAT is with 'usually' = majority vs. just most frequent.
for question #4 the quantifier usually, are there other words that could imply other quantifiers? Maybe I missed the lessons discussing how usually means most, but that threw me for a loop. Anyone else?
In the explanation video you mention that 0 kittens can go to families with children. Based on the few quantifier video this is incorrect as you mention that few is some but not many meaning at least one kitten must go to a family with children. If I'm incorrect about this can someone please let me know.
For #1 why wouldn't it be cafes instead of city? To me it doesn't make sense that you would be saying that some city serves HPO. or at least I could understand it being CC, for city cafes?
Could you also read question 4 differently, depending on the premise, for example, if he did his inspections four times on Monday and then once on every day after therefore only four are done on Monday and six are done during the rest of the week.
Therefore, depends on what your comparison is. If you're comparing Monday to any other day, then it's usually done on Monday but if you're comparing it to a weeks worth of inspections than only some done on Monday.
I drew the conclusion "kittens ‑m→ /homes with children"
However I made the mistake of also drawing the conclusion "kittens ←s→ home with children"
I did this because I interpreted the quantifier as "few" and I understood that "few" means "some but not many" which when translated turns into both "some are" and "most are not".
But I didn't take into consideration that it was saying "fewer than half" instead of "few".
So therefore, I'm I to understand that "few" and "fewer than half" are not the same thing?
With "few" being both "A ←s→ B" and "A ‑m→ /B"
and
"fewer than half" being exclusive to "A ‑m→ /B"?
I'll appreciate if someone can clarify that. Thanks.
For question 5, why wouldn't it translate to some?

For number 5, I said kittens adopted ←s→ homes with children. Is that the same as kitten —m→ /home-children? On the module for "Few" it said Few meant "some are" and "most are not". x←s→y. and x—m→ /y
it's entirely possible
"Usually" got me !!
Referencing #5, is it safe to assume if "than half" or a phrase representing half is used, then we'll use most in some way? I know it might not always be this way, but just trying to get this straight in my head.
For #5 couldn't we also say "few" since in the lessons we know "few" translates to "some but not most"?
For question 5, wouldn't
"kittens <-s-> homes with children" also work?
I get now how it's kitten -m-> /home children but I thought that "few" can also mean some because it is less than half.
Is it correct to diagram Q5 as:
/(kittens -m-> homes w child) ?
It is not the case that most kittens adopted yesterday went to homes with children?

5/5!!!

Can you also kick it up a domain here? E.g. Some cafes in the city serve hand poured single origin coffee.
Domain in the city
Rule: cafe <-s-> HPSOC

#feedback at 3:15 in the ideo the cc say sum instead of some
for #5 why wouldnt some work?
can -m-> mean most or just many?
For #5, can it also be diagrammed as kittens adopted <--s--> homes?
Would 'Inspect some Mondays' work for #4?

I understand Q4. But I have to do mental gymnastics to understand why it's not on most Mondays.
Q5 tricky. I immediately interpreted fewer than half as 'some'. Rookie mistake...
Question for #5:
I drew the conclusion "kittens ‑m→ /homes with children"
However I made the mistake of also drawing the conclusion "kittens ←s→ home with children"
I did this because I interpreted the quantifier as "few" and I understood that "few" means "some but not many" which when translated turns into both "some are" and "most are not".

With "few" being both "A ←s→ B" and "A ‑m→ /B"
and
"fewer than half" being exclusive to "A ‑m→ /B"?
I'll appreciate if someone can clarify that. Thanks.
for Q#2 - using the principle that 'most implies some' can we also make the following inference?
supply ore running low
some gold mines that are running low on gold deposits supply ore to CR
For question 5, why wouldn't it translate to some?
