For #3 Nowhere does it say that D can only be used once.

There is nothing wrong with number 5. Yes 4 is the expected answer, I kind of like that the answer isn’t there. Throws you off a bit.

Also, I am not sure that I have seen the word ‘may’ used in other lsat prep. Thats not that big of a deal though.

That being said, thank you for providing us with a free logic problem!

There is nothing wrong with question three although it is difficult to understand. The question requires that only one of the given scenarios MAY be true. This is confusing because the instructions are partly in the answer. So D is correct because it is the only possible situation although it is not necessary.

For an unofficial LSATish logic problem I thought there were relatively tight.

I believe there is another problem with #3 — it says “Bart and Charlie wear hats on the same day” which is ambiguous. It could either mean they always wear hats together (as expressed in the answer key), but it could also mean that on at least (and perhaps only) one day, they both wear hats. You could clear up the ambiguity by saying “… on the same dayS”. Of course, without assuming that fix, there is no way to answer some of the questions.

Otherwise, I enjoyed the puzzle.

Oh and I hope you don’t take my comments as being too harsh… the thing is, I traveled to this page, on my downtime to find some puzzles to do for fun… and it’s just that the LSAT is always so damn precise that if there is any small error, it could change the nature of the game… and the ultimate final score.

It’s the same on the part of the logic game solver: if he or she misses a deduction, the whole puzzle may become unsolvable.

So, I’m sorry if I appear to be harsh, but it’s true, some of these games are poorly written. The only really good logic game, with only a small minor problem, is the most recent one that was posted in February.

Best,
Calvin

The problem with #3 is that he uses the word “only which of the following is true”… this implies a must be true question… this is just poorly worded. It should be: If Don wears a hat on Saturday, which of the following must be true?

That clears up many misconceptions and makes it a better a question.

With number 5, Curious George is correct in his explanation… 4x a week WOULD be able to be a correct answer, it’s only the restriction by Rule 4.

I find that some of the questions and rules for the logic games that you and others have written for this website are actually not very clear… nor are they on par with the current language of the LSAT. You should find time to revise these glaring errors, since others, such as myself will eventually navigate to these pages.

The answer to Question 5 is correct, but the explanation given is incorrect. If, as suggested by the explanation, the salient consideration were that Charlie, and therefore Bart, never wears a hat two days in a row, then Bart would be able to wear a hat 4 days [SuTRSa] (having removed the restrictions imposed by Al in Rule 4).

The reason that Charlie, and therefore Bart, can only wear a hat three days a week, is that Rule 1 states, “Charlie wears a hat three times a week.”
