LG Game 3 Setup, by LSATHacks
Game Setup
This game is an interesting mix of linear and grouping. There are six textbooks. F, G and H are introductory and X, Y, Z are advanced.
Commit these to memory. Just remember that the later letters are advanced (XYZ), and the earlier letters are introductory (FGH).
R has to be the first one to evaluate any advanced textbook and J has to be the first one to evaluate any introductory textbook. So, R’s first textbook is advanced and J’s first textbook is introductory.
R must finish the advanced books before the sixth week so that J can do the last advanced book. And vice versa. So R’s last book is introductory, and J’s last book is advanced.
R can’t do two introductory books in a row. This lets us figure out a lot. We already know that R’s first book is advanced and his last book is introductory. “a, __ __ __ __ i”
If we can’t put two i’s together, then 5 must be advanced: ““a, __ __ __ a, i”
There are two i’s and one a left. We have to put the a in the middle, to keep apart the i’s. R must do the books in this order: a, i, a, i, a, i.
It’s the only way for R to finish all the advanced books before week 6 and to split apart the introductories.
J has to do X in week 4. Other than that, J is a bit more open ended. We deduced above that J has to do an “i” first, and an “a” last.
That’s all we know. Just remember that J can’t do an advanced book unless R does it first, and R can’t do an introductory book unless J does it first.
