Me too...is that even correct

ah fackkkkkk. I did this too fast and completely overlooked the region assumption. Am not having a good time.

exactly

For the most part I will never use lawgic to solve many of these questions because I find I get lost in the mechanics rather than actually understanding what the question is asking. I solved this without mapping anything

same lol

Flewwwww right over my head. Then realized if I took the contrapositive of B it followed what the stimulus was saying. I will say I tried to do the logic in my head so thats probably where I messed up.

you dont. i would skip lol

This was more confusing than it needed to be.

1. Map out the conditional,

If fewer than 50 ppl available for hire AND Dept duplicated more than 25% of material --> /proposal for a new department will be funded

2. Contrapose this statement

Proposal for a new department will be funded --> /fewer than 50 people available for hire OR /dept duplicated more than 25% of material.

As per De Morgens law, with OR in the necessary condition AT LEAST one (but possibly both) of the two conditions must trigger when sufficient condition is triggered. So in this case scenario, because the proposal for a new department was approved to be funded (sufficient condition triggered) and 25% of material covered in Area Studies department was duplicated, then the only plausible remaining answer choice would be A, that there is atleast 50 people avail. for hire, as this was the only remaining necessary condition left to be used.

Hope this is clearer.

hate, hate, loathe entirely

this was annoying

its not

You're so right. In the unaware question, unaware became not aware, which is written in lawgic as /aware per his example. Then in the unfamiliar question, unfamiliar is not negated to /familiar. On the left is how he solved for the problem and on the right is how I solved. I have already completed the 7sage curriculum but I found that this was VERY confusing when I first started 7 Sage. These things should be clarified early on as it can confuse many students later on, given that conditional reasoning is the foundational structure of the LSAT.

Only those who are unfamiliar with the principles of plate tectonics are puzzled by the occurrence of earthquakes.

How he solved:

Puzzled --> Unfamiliar

/Unfamiliar --> /Puzzled

How I solved:

Puzzled --> /Familiar

Familiar ---> /Puzzled

Someone please correct me if my approach to this question was completely wrong. I got it right by matching the the flaw of the conditional statement from the stimulus to the answer choices, but I did not solve it like JY.

A → B

Law punishes littering → City has obligation to provide trash cans

Flaw in conditional statement:

A → B

Law does not punish littering → City has not obligation to provide trash cans

Answer choice D:

A → B

Flight late → Missed committee meeting

Flaw in Conditional statement:

A → B

Flight not late → Did not miss committee meeting

Both statements match the flaw in conditional reasoning which is A → B.

Did I solve this wrong?

fmlllll

This would be a definitive skip for me. "Mastodon" "Human Projectile" and the geographic descriptions just flew over my head
