Doing a quick review of concepts that I struggled with early on.
I remember the following rule being simple to diagram:
L is before M but after K.
K-L-M
But I also remember that there is another type of rule that is similar to the above but it involves and "or". I think it goes like this:
K is before M or after L, but not both.
M-K-L, or L-K-M?
Does anyone know what I am referring to? If so, could you link to the lesson or a game that highlights the above?
I can't remember where it came from but the difference between the two above really stumped me at some point....

I don't specifically recall, but I don't know if I agree with your diagramming of "K is before M or after L, but not both". I think you are omitting a few results?
If K is before M, it would have to be before L. So
KML or KLM
If K is after L, it would be after M. So
MLK or LMK
Basically to solve it, I think you would just need to split the game into two different boards.
One where you specify:
K-M and K-L
The other would be:
L-K and M-K
I can't recall a specific game either, but I would write this rule
as follows:
K ----- M or L ----- K but not both
K ----- M
\L
or
L ----- K
M/
Yep I agree. That's how I diagrammed it as well. As long as you ( @nyc2dc2ca ) make it clear to yourself that each diagram is an entirely separate outcome, this diagram should serve you perfectly for solving this style of game.
@Mellow_Z Thanks for that clarification. I think that is exactly the mistake I made that I took note of and am now trying to figure out. Thanks for pointing that out!!
