Game Setup

We’re told that six meetings will be held across two semesters, Fall and Spring. There will be 3 meetings per semester. The first two rules have the same format:

• If Honolulu hosts in Fall, Montreal hosts in Fall
• If Vancouver hosts in Spring, Montreal hosts in Spring

You can draw these like this:

The third rule says each group needs one of Montreal or Vancouver:

You could make some scenarios from this, but I actually found it easier just to firmly commit those rules to memory, and then go with any new rules each question gives. Four out of six questions add a new rule, and the other two are process of elimination questions.

It is helpful to add some defaults though when making scenarios:

• If unsure what to legally put in a group, put HM in fall or VS in spring. You know those work and eliminate a constraint.
• Either V or M is a good choice in a group if you already fulfilled the constraint in the first bullet. Since you need one of V or M in each group.
• Exactly one city goes twice. Every other city goes once.
• There are no other ways to break the rules. This is a very permissive game.
