Highlights

We started off the class by discussing Malcolm Gladwell’s nonsense about the LSAT. I pointed them to Ben and Nate's discussion about how wrong Gladwell is. Also, the LSAT prepares you (in part) for law school.

Levi walked us through Test 87, Game 1 — Expert witnesses, where we made two webs based on the last rule (check out the Web Games Bootcamp!) that destroys the game.

Cinthia took the lead on Test 87, Game 2 — TV station, and we talked about how the game isn’t a nice tidy web because the rules don’t link together. Instead, we made worlds off of the block, because it does a lot in all the worlds. Three worlds solved the game.

Pierson walked us through Test 87, Game 3 — Gallery showings, where we first made worlds based on I first or not, then where H could go. Eliminating H from the game allows you to know all the places S can go. Eliminating S then crushed the game. Also, the rule sub was completely predictable (check out the Rule Substitution Bootcamp).

Matt took the lead on Test 87, Game 4 — Charity. Matt split into nine total worlds, first on N, then on P, eliminating them from the game. After that, any open three-slot took the remaining three variables. And any remaining two-slot must have L. That crushed the game.
