June 2007 LSAT Logic Game 2 Setup

0:04

The second game of the June 2007 LSAT states, Exactly three films Greed, Harvest, and

0:10

Limelight are shown during a film club s festival held on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

0:16

Each film is shown at least once during the festival but never more than once on a given

0:21

day. On each day at least one film is shown. Films are shown one at a time. The following

0:28

conditions apply:

0:31

So the first thing we know is that we have three films and those films are going to be

0:35

Greed, Harvest, and Limelight.

0:41

We also know that this festival is going to be held on three days, Thursday, Friday, and

0:48

Saturday, and on each day at least one film is shown. Again, we have three days; Thursday,

0:56

Friday, and Saturday. On each of these days, at least one of the films is shown. We also

1:04

know that each film is shown at least once during the festival, so we know that we have

1:11

at least one G, at least one H, and at least one L, but never more than once on any given

1:18

day. Well, what that tells us is that we have at least one film shown every day, and max

1:25

three, because we can't have any film show up more than once, so we have max three for

1:36

each day because we can only have G, H, and L. No one can show up more than once.

1:44

So at least one, max three, and now let's turn our attention to the conditions. The

1:50

first condition tells us, On Thursday Harvest is shown and no film is shown after it on

1:58

that day. We know Harvest is going to be on Thursday and we also know that if any other

2:04

film is shown on Thursday it has to be shown before Harvest. Turning our attention to the

2:11

second condition, On Friday, either Greed or Limelight but not both is shown, and no

2:18

film is shown after it on that day. We know we had either Greed or Limelight but

2:27

not both. You notice what that does is it changes our max three on Friday to a maximum

2:35

of two now because we can't have both G and L. Again, as we saw previously, if anything

2:45

is shown on that day, Friday, it must be shown before G or L.

2:53

Moving to the third condition, On Saturday either Greed or Harvest but not both is shown

2:59

and no film is shown after it on that day. So again on Saturday we have either Greed

3:07

or Harvest but again not both, which again changes our max from three to two. Again,

3:17

if any film shows up on Saturday, it must be played before G or H.

3:28

There you have it. That is the setup for this game. Now that we have this setup, let's turn

3:33

our attention to the questions.
