Game 5, Rule 4

Hello. I am confused with Game 5, Rule 4. Mehran says that Jerry drives on Wednesday, or Saturday, or both, which is true. but the same rule says "and he may also drive on other days" but then for question 14, he says answer C is wrong because Jerry is driving on Thursday. Is this because, in order for Jerry to work on another day, Jerry must work on a Wednesday Or Saturday Or both before he can work for another day?

Hi @ZackWVan,

Thanks for the question! So when we’re told that Jerry drives on Wednesday, Saturday, or both, but could drive on other days, it means the following: Jerry has to drive on at least Wednesday or Saturday. But Jerry can also drive on other days.

It’s kind of like saying my breakfast has to have toast and butter. It could have other things, like eggs. But it has to have those two things. So Jerry has to drive on Wednesday or Saturday. So (C) is wrong because Jerry drives on a Thursday, but doesn’t drive on a Wednesday or Saturday. So that’s kind of what you were getting at at the end I think. Sure, Jerry can work other days, but Jerry has to work Wednesday or Saturday (or both).

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.

I was going to ask the same question but then I noticed it says "Jerry drives on Wednesday or Saturday or both, AND he may also drive on other days." Meaning that, on top of driving on W or S or both, he may additionally drive on a third day. If instead of saying "...AND he may drive on other days" it said "...OR he may drive on other days", then it would've been acceptable to drive only on Thursday (Answer C.). However, this was not the case.

I had a question on the same Game 5 but question 16 how is the answer C Helen drives on Monday when on Monday either Helen or Jerry could go. I am confused since Jerry is already in Wednesday and Saturday and it said that Jerry can also be on another day? so wouldn't the answer be "A" Fritz drives on Tuesday?

16 asks what happens if J is only on W or S, so the only one left to go in M is H.
