Highlights
Demon Teacher Matt started Circle/Slash Bootcamp with an introduction to LSAT Demon’s approach to making worlds. The purpose of making worlds is to eliminate rules. Baking the rules into a diagram allows you to eliminate them from your thought process.
Matt introduced the Circle/Slash method as a tool to solve In/Out Games. Guiding the class, Matt showed how the rules Test 78, Game 1 — Special project can easily be baked into worlds using Q and R. Matt let the class take a shot at Test 74, Game 3 — Rugs before letting the circle/slash method and a few picky colors guide the way. Finally, Matt used five worlds to show that Test 65, Game 3 — Luncheon can be made simple by diagramming who can play with who and applying one rule at a time.

Matt is one of the best at helping us see how the “scary” questions are actually quite easy to do once you take the time to think it out.
