Highlights

We kicked things off with storytime of a pretty fascinating passage about platypuses (fun fact: the actual plural of platypuses is platypodes, but platypuses just became the acceptable term). Matt demonstrated how the super scientific terms in the passage don’t have to be any kind of impediment for us to comprehend the passage. We went through questions 18, 19, and 21 in detail.

Next, we conquered a fun game that we approached in a different way than all the video explanations we have on the Demon. We made splits based on the third rule, and that triggered the O rule, which gave us a full solution with a little flexibility.

Finally, Matt and the class drilled a relatively straightforward Reasoning question. We reminded ourselves that the correct answer has to exactly describe the argument.
