Translating "Cannot" in In/Out Games and Grouping Games

Hi all,

I'm struggling with the translation of "cannot."

In an In/Out game if A & B "cannot" be together, then:
- is A <--> not B and B <--> not A (or rather, is a biconditional relationship necessarily created)? because they are always apart/never together?

In a Grouping game, if A & B "cannot" be together, then:
- is a negate necessary the only result? - is A ---> not B and B --> A?

    Hi @anjkumar87,

    In/Out Game
    If A and B cannot be together and A and B have to be in the In group or the Out group, then you have to represent it as A <---> /B.

    Grouping Game
    There are more than two groups with items that are not repeatable, and A and B cannot be together, you should represent it as A ---> /B because this means that if A is in one group, B cannot be in that group. There is no particular Out group. We look at each group as "In group", and we see that if A is in a group, B has to be in other groups.

    This discussion might clear things up:
