LSAT 28, Game 3 Setup, Hotels Restaurants and a Health Inspector, LSATHacks

LG Game 3 Setup, by LSATHacks

Game Setup

This game is a mix of linear and grouping. I set it up like this:

This sounds obvious, but many people forget it: morning comes before afternoon. So if G is on Tuesday morning and J is on Tuesday afternoon (for example), then G is before J. For some reason, the LSAT makes some people forget things they know in real life.

I’ve drawn the rule that hotels can’t go on day three directly on the diagram. G, J and L can’t go on Wednesday. That means that exactly three hotels and one restaurant are inspected on Monday and Tuesday.

The rest of the rules are: G is inspected before J.  We can’t have G and S on the same day together. If Z is in the morning then L is in the morning too.

Apart from listing the rules, when a game divides things into categories you should always draw the variables.

Hotels are earlier in the alphabet, and restaurants are later in the alphabet. It’s extremely important to be able to know instantly which group the variables are in when you see them. There aren’t many deductions you can make, so learn the rules well.
