Keep practicing! You will get more comfortable with creating the larger chain sequences.

But remember, if you do not know anything about a certain variable, that variable is a random variable.

This effectively means it could go anywhere.

Hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

On question 12, why didn't the instructor try to place O before she came up with the answer? She determined the answer before trying to place O anywhere and I'm confused why she knew she didn't have to do anything with O?

@Natalie-King, if you can't nail down where exactly J, K, and N go, it's impossible to know exactly where O can be. O's position is entirely dependent on those other relationships, so there's no reason to try to place O, because O can be several different places. Once you determine that J, K, and N can be in a variety of locations, then you can conclude that O is also undetermined and won't count toward the answer you're looking for. Does that make sense?

When organizing the large sequence chain, since we already knew that M would be last, could we have also concluded that N would be next since it was the only variable besides M to have nothing to the right of it?

@JSheares I am assuming you are referring to the second game in this lesson (soft-drink manufacturer).

If so, that would not be correct because K could also appear sixth.

Does that make sense?

I don't understand what question 11 and 12 are asking for on the second game. Please provide explanation.

Hi @ulino23

Question 11 has some tricky phrasing. “What is the maximum possible number of the soft drink names any one of which could be among the three most popular?”

What this question is essentially asking is, how many sodas could occupy either slots 1, 2, or 3? And to figure that out, we can ask — which sodas will never occupy any of those slots?

If you follow the video again, you will see that M, K, and O could never been in the three most popular. Every other soda could be in the first three slots, so we know that there are four sodas that can be in the first 3. So B is correct.

Question 12 adds a new rule that P comes before J. And now we are asking, with that additional rule, for which sodas do we know, no matter what, what rank they are in? Because the new rule tells allows us to determine ranks 1, 2, and 7, we can determine three soda slots. And B is correct.

I hope that helps! Let us know if you have further questions.

I'm not sure what I'm not understanding but I cannot come to the correct answer on the Question 1-5 of February 1992 #6.

I understand that this logic games/logic reasoning section always asks questions that have 4 incorrect options to choose from and 1 correct option to choose from. Is this the only action that has this layout (of 4 incorrect possibilities and 1 correct possibility) or, is this the only section that I can count on this sort of answer option pattern? Thanks!

Kim_stuart on May 19, 2020

section * (not action--in regard to my previous post) Thanks again

Do people use different colors to do the problems when they're studying or during the actually test? What's the best practice? This is my first day of logic games and want to train myself to get into the best possible habit. Thanks

Hey I was wondering how many diagrams we are supposed to make on these games and how long to spend making them. I often feel that I am losing a lot of time creating the diagram.

I find myself doing better with games out of the book, as I do not need to be using a mouse and a pencil. Any ideas on working around this?

For #11 in this video, I got six instead of four. The explanation says that L and P have to come before O and K, but it does not look like that in the setup. It only looks like J has to come before O and K. Do you know how to make sense of this discrepancy?

Ravi on February 6, 2022

@Sara-Rex, for #11, J and L could both be first. P could also be ranked as high as second. N could be ranked third, directly behind L and P. The problem with O is that J, L, and P all have to be more popular. Thus, there are only four: J, L, P, and N.
