@MateoAgudelo the answer is SOME pilots are blind, which you're saying extends to ALL pilots are blind. (correct) and ALL pilots are blind is negating the initial "NO pilots are blind." because we're trying to get the bare minimum to negate, "some" is correct, even if it encapsulates "all."
this is so hard to explain but i totally get what you mean lmao
@OwenTrela because "some" ranges between 1% to 100%. it encapsulates "all" which would be an incorrect translation
in my head, "some" ranges between 2-19 but i guess it's time to rewire that🥀
@LexiSmith04 yea.. i included newly arrived in both questions and don't get why we need to differentiate cus it seems to work just fine?
@AndrewPhillips to make it easier for myself, if it's a pretty straight-forward double negation like in questions 1 and 4, i will simply drop both negatives and continue from there.
ex: No Jacksons are non-swimmers
-Jacksons are swimmers
ex 2: No one is invited who did not RSVP
-One is invited if they did RSVP
that's what usually works for me but if that strategy is flawed in some cases please let me know!!!
@JesseMcCarthy that's exactly what i did, so watching the video really confused me...i feel like we had the concept though. i just don't know why he did it the way he did
@KeziaH19 i believe so...i struggled a lot at first especially with putting the ideas on the correct sides of the arrows, but after some time i easily have been getting 5/5 on these within 15 minutes total
i got 5/5 really easily, but i just don't see how this will click for me while i'm taking a test. whenever i try to diagram while taking a PT, it takes too much time and contrarily confuses me even more. what do i do???
@NicoleSpradlin same, and it usually stems from questions including the word "only." this reddit thread really helped me!! https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/16ckbih/the_only_vs_only/
@CollinEsquirol I agree...that tripped me up as well. I didn't realize that we were supposed to consider any and all other factors (like competing coffee shops), so I just stuck with what the stimulus gave us... :(
@SarahHolmes754 i get caught up in the words a lot, but drawing triple venn diagrams really helps me lol. a lot of the invalid arguments of this flaw section of the curriculum is based on the fact that the "B" bucket could be huge. Therefore, if only "some" or "most" of B are C, A could have a real good chance of never being in C, which is why those conclusions are invalid.
