  Which one was that? The grouping game for volleyball?

  Waaait, that’s the one about seasons and seminars. That one was tricky, but once the rules came into place it went quick. A grouping game, 5 parts and 6 board pieces, one repeats. The game revolves around the two pieces or conditional logic and what game piece is being used twice.

  Let’s take a MBT question from it, and put H in both seasons. Because H is in fall, M must be in fall, leaving a game piece we can’t determine quite yet. In the spring, we already have H, and since we can’t have another duplicate, it cannot be M, so it must be V (either V or M in both seminars). V being in the spring triggers a conditional rule, and T is in the spring as well. We now have 5 of 6 slots! So, the final piece, O, must go in the fall since it is the only slot available and voila, the board is complete.

  One of the questions was which of the following cannot be a partial list of the game pieces, and that one stumped me for a moment. I think the correct answer was
  Fall: V
  Spring: V, T, M

  Why? Well, that only leaves O and H for the fall, and what happens if H is in the fall? M must be there as well, which it cannot be since 1) there are only 3 seminars each season and 2) only one duplicate.

  What happens, though, if a partial board is
  Fall: V
  Spring: H

  We actually have a lot of leeway with this board initially, but once we take a look it can be broken down into the following

  Fall: V, M, O
  Spring: H, V, T

  Fall: V, O, M
  Spring: H, T, M

  Fall: V, T, M
  Spring: H, O, M

  Fall: V, H, M
  Spring: H, O, T
  ^^ this cannot work, as we do not have V or M in spring.

  There may be more than this, BUT, you cannot have H in both, since it messes with M and V in spring, which is the most important part. That’s the gist of this game Hope this helps!
