Highlights

Nathan started class with a short lecture on slowing down to speed up. He emphasized the importance of focusing on accuracy over speed. Next, we read a set of comparative passages on dental caries in the archaeological record and reviewed the toughest questions, including one that gave 60% of the class trouble. Nathan reminded students that a single word can make an otherwise tempting answer wrong.

Tonight’s game involved both grouping and sequencing rules. Nathan walked the class through a 4-world solution using a circle-slash setup. We wrapped up with Logical Reasoning and drilled two Must Be True questions. Nathan emphasized that “inferred” doesn’t mean “made up.” It means something that is proven by the passage.
