I'm having some trouble when considering the contrapositive. Are we able to use premise one (J --> computer TOB) to conclude /J because it's a sufficient condition and the contrapositive makes it a necessary condition? But we can't do this with premise two (computer TOB and RGBEL --> J) to be /J because that makes the sufficient necessary?
**Spark note; when and how can we determine to use De Morgans law re; contrapositive? #help #tutor?
I can understand how D fails the first condition by just believing the the computer had been typically used. But, I don't see how D fails the second condition when it explicitly says "there were reasonable grounds for believing that the computer had typically been used in operation..". Is it not reasonable to assume it would also then contain usable evidence? Although, I did overlook the word legitimate, importing and smuggling are closely related and evidence could be stored on a legit business computer. I also feel like the use of "confiscated" in this context is consistent with no authorization. The laptop wasn't surrendered.
Does the "in addition" in line 5 make "used in the operation of a business" a sufficient condition for justified in addition to being a necessary condition?
"Now consider two conclusions: access is justified versus access if not justified. Which conclusion is reachable via the first rule? Access is not justified. That is a reachableconclusion. To reach it, we just need to trigger the rule contrapositively."
Can someone explain why the justified conclusion is not reachable if it's the suff condition?
If Im getting the correct answers in under timing should I still prioritize separating parts of the Stim into logic? I watched the video of the problem but it just made me confused. I can find the right answers on these types of problems but just have a hard time mapping it out to justify.
Once again overthinking the correct answer and switching it smh

The amount of text in the answer choices should be illegal
Do you recommend diagramming/writing out Lawgic or notes on the test? Does time allow for that or should we start doing that in our head?
Is the "in addition" how we get to two sufficient conditions in rule 2? Because I thought rule 2 would be only the second listed sufficient condition.
8:32 mins to get it right during BR LMAO

Got it Right and 48 Seconds under Time but man these are mouthfulls both questions and answers.
got it right!
I worked my lawgic out to be used in business operations + grounds for belief info is evidence --> access info w/o authorization is justified.
I got the answer correct but would like to know how do you know when to separate two logically statements?

Had B chosen for a good minute, chose E because im no longer mentally stable
Okay now how do I do this without panicking about how long it's taking me to read the answer choices/stimulus lol
I didn't really understand this question. Is there any way I could some more help on this?
"Now consider two conclusions: access is justified versus access if not justified. Which conclusion is reachable via the first rule? Access is not justified. That is a reachable conclusion. To reach it, we just need to trigger the rule contrapositively."
Can someone explain why the justified conclusion is not reachable if it's the suff condition?
can someone explain to me how did he transfer the "no authorization" up to domain? Maybe i didnt quite understand the rule? help
I got this on the dot, can I get a pizza party?
super helpful explanations ty!

I got it right but if i see a question this long on the LSAT im skipping and coming back later LOL
#feedback. I'm confused how one rule gets to justified vs unjustified? Is that normal?
that took me 4 minutes ....i got it right but how the heck is timing supposed to be learned when the answer choices are so long AND so similar
and they want me to answer this within 2 minutes????
they really snuck in a novel as an LSAT question
Once again overthinking the correct answer and switching it smh
