I liked this video a lot, specifically her clear explanations and annotations of the questions + the notes
@DamianoVigneri I think of the "all" indicator as placing one circle inside the other. In order for everyone who is 21+ to be able to purchase alcohol, the 21+ circle must be inside the 'can purchase alcohol' circle. It doesn't work in reverse. If the 21+ is the superset, then only a subset of this population would be in the 'can purchase alcohol' bubble.
@rayanessafi It's my understanding that the Geologist's claim is "the scientists' challenge to the dominant view is refuted by the presence in petroleum of biomarkers."
geologist view: petroleum is formed from the fossilized remains of pants and animals (which would produce biomarkers)
scientist view: petroleum is formed from deep carbon deposits
The best way to weaken the geologist's argument is to find a source of biomarkers that is not fossils. Strains of bacteria deep in the Earth's crust is a plausible alternative explanation as to why biomarkers could be found in petroleum
@DestinyBoyles My understanding was that you have two rules, and Kumar arriving 17 minutes after the last ring falls outside the scope of those. I think of it like a language your computer can't process.
You know if that if someone was marked late, than they arrived 5+ minutes after the homeroom bell. You also know that if someone did not arrive 5+ minutes after the homeroom bell, than they were not marked late.
However, you were not given a rule for interpreting what happens when 5+ min late is the sufficient condition, so you have no information to make an inference. It's like your code throwing an error
Completely off topic but the way 7sage breaks down sentences in the stimulus would be so helpful for learning languages and knowing how each part of a sentence modifies the meaning
