Rules of Thumb for LG

WickedLost

I was putting together a list of rules of thumb to remember when answering LG questions and I thought I'd share. I'd love to hear what others use! I typically try to remember the following:
- take stock of what's left
- run down the rules
- scan the answer choices to see if any stand out
- scan the answer choices for similar patterns

@"Law and Yoda" Short and concise. Great for people first learning the LG process. I would keep this next to my bed and review it before I fall asleep each night. Or look over the list when I am standing in line or eating.
