Oh man this was discouraging. I’m a fish keeper and it’s common knowledge that male guppies have patterns, and female guppies are colorless plain, so I chose A. I understood “more dangerous to one sex than to another” was correct since only males would have spots, thus only males are in danger. 1 star AND I have knowledge on the subject.
@IDontEverGiveUp hi from a year in the future! this is so true. I tend to be a very literal thinker, so when i found out that you don't use outside knowledge on the LSAT, that was my biggest struggle- to leave it all behind. The questions that happen to touch on our expertise areas are the WORST
i want these principle lessons to teach us when it is reasonable to infer some things. For example, it's not the most straightforward thing to infer "mating could lead to procreation" and yet this was the correct answer.
In the harder questions, reasonable inferences get more difficult to make.
I find the link between the stimulus and principle incredibly tenuous. Is it a correct understanding that there really is no (or a very weak) causal link between small spots and vulnerability to predation presented??? The stimulus merely presents the phenomenon of small spottedness and the ability to avoid the detection of predators as coincident and not necessarily related or causal phenomenon.
Of course the correct answer is correct because it is the most correct answer choice. But it can be argued that the connection between the principle and the stimulus is tenuous at best since it requires the (easy to make) assumption of an earlier implied causal relationship
I'm pretty sure if you select an answer but stay on the question, it is the amount of time you had that answer selected. So if you chose the wrong answer and stayed on it for 2 minutes, then switched it to the correct one right at the end and left it for 10 seconds, it would be grey for the amount of time you waited before selecting the wrong answer which would be in red, then switch it to the correct answer which is green. However, this is what I think it does, I may be wrong

shout out my short kings yall are survivors
:)
@aneeshpatel425818 *undesirable survivors
Brutal blackpill for smallspotcels
@jasonkerr LOL
@jasonkerr incel guppies wth???
they have the same problem too? ...
LMAO
small spotted trinidadian guppies catching enormous strays
I swore that this question was like level 3. I even took 3 minutes on it. Nope, level 1
@jrm98 took me 6 LOL
level one???? :
Right!?!? I for sure thought it was a 2, maybe 3.
@Amelia_D lol
Shout out to John Endler for these experiments with the guppies, and helping differentiate sexual selection v. Natural selection.
Who else also googled Trinidadian Guppies lol
I did because of this comment; why'd I imagine them like clownfish initially
I didn't until I read this comment lol. They kinda remind me of neon tetras. Super pretty fish.
After this comment, I had to look them up.

Don't get discouraged! It is important I think to leave all background information we may have outside when we try to solve these questions.

I'm always 30 seconds or more over but I get questions right. Love to see it
I chose A😭
lmaoo the hypothetical principle for B was awesome
Going off this, my ass is unattractive AF :(
@xenonay LMFAO maybe for now....
poor small spotted male guppies lol all they can do is hide and no one loves them </3 us LSATers do though glub glub
inb4 I start my wrong answer streak <3

@steamboatwillie I agree, inference varies across these question types.
I'm mad for not processing E and just going with B 😭
yayaya GOT IT RIGHT:)
Definitely was overthinking on this one.
LETS GO!!!
3 secs over
is it normal for me to kinda go hunting and use poe at the same time?

how does the timing bar work when looking at past questions? why is it sometimes green and sometimes red? #feedback
