LG Game 3 Setup, by LSATHacks

Game Setup

This is a grouping game. There are three groups:  movies, soccer and restaurants. There are five people. Exactly two people go in soccer. So between movies and restaurants, one will have one person and one will have two.

I left out the extra line for the fifth person. Just note that they can go with either M or R. And then, our restrictions. You can combine a couple of the rules to say that P doesn’t go with N, O and T. N doesn’t go with O.

So P is very restricted. P can only go with V, if P goes with anyone.

Lastly, if V or N goes to a movie then they both go to a movie.

We can draw this on our diagram and see what happens. If we put both V and N in a movie then we must put P in R. O and T go in S.

Why?  P can’t go with O or T and we need two people to go in S.

So on our other diagram we should point out that V and N don’t go in the movies.

Some people get confused as to why I do this. It is to remind you that you already drew a diagram that shows what would happen if V and N go into the movies. So in all your other setups, V and N are not in the movies.
