If SV are both in or both out then you're failing the necessary condition in the final rule for F, i.e., "exactly one of S or V is selected," therefore FGH are out. If FGH are out then the entire out-group is filled meaning IQR have to be in.
Thanks so much for sharing your notes! Just had a quick question - how did you determine that SV triggers I in based on the third scenario? Idk if I got the contrapositive wrong while setting up my diagrams, but for the third diagram (S & V in) I got SVQR: in and HG: out with two remaining floaters F/I and I/F...thank you for clarifying! :)
If anyone knows if there's an explanation for this game anywhere on the internet please let me know. I was able to work through it but I really want to over it before the November LSAT because it was pretty tricky and similar to the type games that the powerscore guys predicted could be on this upcoming test

@claremont525 ahhhhh I forgot it said "exactly one", okay that makes a lot more sense. Thank you very much! :)

Wondering the same thing as @sohamkhan149335. How did you determine that SV being in triggers I to be in as well?

Thank you so much
@claremont525 Thank you very much!
Might be a while before the official video comes out but here are my notes for working out the game set efficiently. Let me know if this helps.
F G H I Q R S V
5/8 in, 3 out, conditional chains
G -> F -> S/V
H -> F
V -> Q and R
/Q or /R -> /V
H -> /Q and /I -> /V
G and S -> /I and F and /V
key inference:
S and V both out -> /F would force both GH out, insufficient remaining
therefore at least one of S/V always in
split three scenarios:
in: S
out: V
remain: F G H I Q R
in: V Q R
out: S H
remain: F G I
in: S V Q R I
out: F G H
/I, MBF: SV triggers I in
FH in, must be in?
in: FHS
out: QIV
remain: GR, must fill in to FHSGR
QV in, could be in?
in: QVR
out: H
remain: F G I S
a. SH violate V -> /H
b. SI ok
c. SF violate S/V
d. GI violate G -> F
e. GH violate V -> /H
/Q, must be in?
in: S
out: Q V
remain: F G H I R 4/5
can I out? SFGHR ok. eliminate choices with I.
a. SV no
b. RS ok
c. RV no
d. HI, I out possible
e. GI, I out possible
no test method:
S must be in, so eliminate CDE. V must be out, so eliminate A. B remains.
