Hey everyone...
I'm only about a quarter of the way through the curriculum, so perhaps this is discussed later in the courses, but after being confused with how group 3 and 4 interact, I sought out explanations as to how to combine rules and ultimately settled on just following the rules as JY presented them...
However, that led me to thinking of examples where this might not hold true, and I came up with the following example which combines group 1 and group 3, based on the example from the cheatsheet:
All horses are strong, unless they have been drugged.
Obviously, grammatically this isn't a complicated sentence, so I suspect it is something we would see fairly frequently on the LSAT. That being said, I'm curious how we tranlslate a more complicated sentence like above? What I came up with was:
All: group 1, sufficient
All horses: H
are strong: S
H-->S
/S-->H
unless: group 3, negate sufficient
unless they have been drugged: D
At this point, it seems like if we treat the first statement, "All horses are strong" as X, and "unless then have been drugged" as Y, then we should have /Y-->X
Therefore, is the following correct?
/D-->H-->S
/S-->/H-->D
If it is not a horse that is strong, then it has been drugged.
Please #help?
Thank you both very much - that helps to make sense!
