I am having the same issue. There are supposed to be video explanations but I cannot see them. If the team could please help, this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, let's break this down.

First, as always, get your variables.
E G H I P R
and grades
A B C D E

We are trying to arrange his classes into respective grades he got. To me, I would set it up as a linear game.
_ _ _ _ _
A B C D E

Now, for Rules:
1: I/R (I and R must touch)
2: E--H (E sometime before H)
3: G--P (G sometime before P)

Some important notes:

THERE IS NO PERFECT SETUP. For some reason there's this idea out there that ONE perfect setup exists for a game, and everything else is worthless. Totally not true. Watch, I could have set this up as a group game:

A:_
B:_
C:_
D:_
E:_

As long as the setup accurately represents what is happening, and it makes sense to you, it's good.

Second, the video explanations are only for certain very popular questions, so don't worry, you aren't missing them and there's no glitches. It's just impossible to make a video for every single question, so LSATMax needs to pick and choose the most popular questions.

Hope this helps!
