LG Game 3 Setup, by LSATHacks
Game Setup
This is a highly unusual game. There are six paintings. They are either oils or watercolors. And they are either from the 19th century or from the 20th century. Each painting of each type has to be directly beside another of the same type.
Meaning: we’ve got to be able to draw a line either sideways or vertically to connect them. 3 is connected to: 2 and 6. 2 is connected to: 1, 5 and 3.
They only tell us three things: 2 is 19th century, 5 is 20th century and 3 is an oil painting. The diagram looks like this:
One of either 2 or 6 has to be an oil painting, one of either 1 or 3 has to be 19th century and one of either 4 or 6 has to be 20th century.
You can write all of this down if it helps you. I found this game much easier to simply visualize. Imagine a line leading from the O. It has to connect with another O, in 2 or 6.
An example of something we couldn’t do would be putting the only other O go in 4 or 5. There is no connection between 3 and 4/5.
Make sure you understand how this diagram works. Try some more examples if you’re unsure. Every question depends on being able to manipulate it.
