Conditional Logic Question

mahakkumari15

Hi everyone! I'm reviewing PT 78 Game 3 and I have a question about one of the conditional logic rules.

Rule 2 says that if H - L --> M - L

Original: H - L --> M - L
Contrapositive: L -M --> L --H

When I originally did this game, I split that rule into two possibilities:

1) both H and M before L
2) L before H and M
This worked for me - I was able to get all the questions right based on this, and when I watched JY's video on splitting into game boards, every game board ended up falling under one of these two scenarios. HOWEVER, I'm not sure if this is the right way to interpret that rule based on conditional logic.

Independent of the rest of the rules in the game, does the original rule 2 allow for a situation where the necessary is satisfied (M - L), rule falls away, and we have L - H (so M - L - H)?

If your question is whether the rule you wrote allows for an (M - L - H) sequence, then yes.

Your rule is only activated by a (H - L) or (L - M). (M - L - H) has neither.

Seems like you removed the conditional aspect and changed it into two alternative sequencing rules.
