crying ---> (cold med nip of whiskey)
Negation of the necessary condition: (cold med nip of whiskey) or (cold med nip of whiskey); i.e., both or neither, but not just one. Let's abbreviate this as NotNC.
Contrapositive of the whole thing: N…
I think you are saying that the order relation of T and W could change from day to day, which in the context of the game means more generally the unspecified order relations between T and I and between T and W could change from day to day. In that c…
Yes, as I indicated, the fact that (B) is correct for Q1 implies T—W. So we don't have to assume that to derive the correct answer by elimination. But we do have to assume it to believe the correctness of the answer, i.e., that this answer complies …
About your last paragraph: we do know that middle/low range eaters were less likely to feel depressed. Your statement of ignorance about the middle/low range eaters implies that in light of statement 1 this could be true: "Low/middle range choc. eat…
My ticket with the iPhone 6s selfie looks a little better in color. Regardless, it is definitely a picture of me and not someone else.
If my ticket is rejected I will sue both the proctor and LSAC.
But the main thing is: The number of unlikely eve…
I am not persuaded yet as to numbering. However, I do sometimes draw a border around rules if I think they might be hard to distinguish from other writing, er, scribbling.
For what it's worth, rather than "the rule becomes obsolete" I like to think, "the arrow disappears."
The arrow represents the rule, the logical relation between the the two conditions. For me, "the arrow" is more concrete than "the rule". When the…
Thanks to each of you. ... I realize that I've set an ambitious schedule for myself. I've been at this for only about a month, so I haven't done hundreds of games. But for reasons not germane here, I don't feel that I have time to delay the test.

I think I didn't make my question clear. I am talking about JY's transcription of the game questions themselves, not about diagramming. For example, if the question stem is "Which one of the following could be a list of axe murderers who could be de…
@jspence316 mentions "grouping games with multiple groups" as good splitting candidates. There are no grouping games with a single group, right? So I believe this is shorthand for something, but I'm not sure what. Does it mean grouping games in whi…
This question presumes some knowledge, perhaps more than it ought. It presumes the testee knows that homo sapiens is our (modern people's) species. It presumes that the testee knows that interbreeding will produce DNA similarities. It presumes that …
Meta: I posted this question here rather than as a comment on the game because those comments don't seem to get much attention. Please let me know if I'm out of line.
In this case, the only purpose of checking I can think of is to discover whether our diagram is flawed because it leaves us without an answer -- please correct me if I'm wrong about that. If so, it's certainly a valid purpose, but is the time trade-…
@"Alex Divine" the spreadsheet I made (see above) suits my purpose for the subset of games I'm planning to use, so no need to do it for me. However, I'd think it would be useful to others in the future.
Afterthought: If JY's estimate is indeed the method's criterion, it would be really, really convenient to have a list of those estimates somewhere. In case there's not such a list, here's a start:

@dcdcdcdcdc but then during the BR you have only the inferences you're able to make and not any additional ones that JY makes, so during BR you won't be memorizing the latter, right?
In comparing @Pacifico 's M.O. ("PMO") with JY's Foolproof Method ("FM") it seems to me that they're substantially different, and that PMO is not merely a very slight tweak of FM.
FM scores the game and watches the explanation immediately, with the…
I haven't read the thread (there're only three weeks until Dec. 3!) but after trying a half dozen or so types I've settled on Mitsu-bishi 9850 HB. If you buy them through this link...

@"Dillon A. Wright", I reviewed the relevant portion of the podcast and I think it would be unfair to Fox to let my synopsis stand as is. He didn't say "a significant number of cases." Also, he made it clear that he has no problem with testees who a…
@drzoidberg, I'm glad your school and work experience are not affected. What it is about the LSAT (and, historically, maybe SAT? -- I know you didn't apply) that makes accommodation justified -- or as Alex Divine put it, needed and deserved -- in y…
@David3389, w/r 35-1 do you mean the chart that JY used? I agree that's elegant, but I'm afraid making it requires an insight that I might not have. I didn't have it when solving before looking at JY's explanation.
W/r 43-4 and "T" -- when I got to…
Just ran into another example: PT 47 S4 G3 -- record stores and music genres. In this case I think standard grouping is superior (for me!) to a chart because the limitations on number of members can be shown directly instead of with a separate note …
@DumbHollywoodActor and Alex Divine, PT 4 G2 is one of the ones used in the lessons I mentioned. What I did for each of the four games involved -- two in lessons, two in problem set is:
Based on the game scenario and rules, without looking at JY's …
