I understand that we can assume that Elias arrived 5+ minutes late and now that I've seen it I understand why the Kumar example is wrong, I just don't think I'd actually be able to see that on a more complex LSAT question. Also I need to see it visually and I just simply don't have the time to draw circles for every necessary assumption question on the test...

IDK if it's just me, but I feel like translating it into a more algebraic form is confusing me more. Maybe it's because I wasn't good at math in school, but it makes so much more sense to look at it visually or in English than in Lawgic form. I know they previously said it doesn't always work visually, but it just doesn't click in my head when I see it lawgically.
