Am I the only one who hates how these are setup? I like to try to come up with my own answers before seeing the full explanation and comparing thought processes to see how I can further improve mine.

@aaddcc I rarely watch the videos for this reason!

Had a horrible time focusing on first attempt and got a 0/5. Took about 45 minutes to reset and came back to get a 4/5. Just a reminder to everyone to take a breather sometimes:)

I'll add my input-

To simplify the violinist argument consider this:

All violinists at NYP know how to play

Most who know how to play are not exceptionally good

Therefore, some at the NYP are not exceptionally good

This is giving us A -> B -m> C

So this is invalid as it's making C sufficient for A which is out of line with our diagram. For all we know there could be no violinists at NYP that aren't exceptionally good. This would lead to the argument being invalid as some is too vague and isn't supported

Interested. Currently averaging between 148-150 after a diagnostic of 136 not even a month ago and am planning to take august lsat!

3/5.. we'll get there!

Tiger argument: Not every assignment is easy. After all, 10 page essays require lots of effort and research.

Disney Argument: To pay at a restaurant, one must pay with cash or pay with card. Natalie paid for dinner, but she did not pay with card. Therefore, she must have paid with cash.

Trash bin argument: All of my strawberries had been eaten when I was at work. My brother is home alone, laying on the couch with a plate next to him, and his fingers are stained red. My hypothesis is that my brother ate my strawberries while I was gone.
