• Six not laws
• What are they?
• How many restrictions do each of them have?

• 12 not laws
• What are they?
• How many restrictions do each of them have?

They are the most powerful and should be examined the most.

Write in any duel or triple options

Whether or not there is anything with "consecutive" in it.

Whether or not any floors are skipped, the skipped floors should be drawn in with XXs

If a floor only has one floor, then close it in on the diagram

Pay attention to them by writting them in with XX or EE

• Consecutively
• Exactly
• Respectivly

Gonce------->10

• But once is more under the line
• This is the same as exactly

That it has many deep and challenging inferences

You must answer it

Small group size which provides large potential for inferences

Two value system. Always take the contrapositive especially in defined balanced games

H1------>L2. Yields what


H1---------->L1 yields what

If the two have opposite necessary conditions then the two sufficient. Conditions cant be offered together.

Recycle inferences

The one with A definite number, if not possible then choose the one with the most inherent sense of order

Randoms are more important to note in games with smaller numbers of variables because they are stronger.

Test the limits to see which variables can be first and last

Circle any special variables

Extend the dotted lines and arrows are possible

• Pattern
• Circular linearity
• Mapping

The games is linear based often with multiple stacks

Typicallu the rules do not name individual variables and instead the rules govern the actions of all variables

The setup is entirely free of placed or fixed variables so the setup usually takes minimal time

There are very few global questions and many local ones

Dont worry about the empty setup

Focus on understanding the rules

Do any list questions first

If still have trouble do a local question with alot of info

If still having trouble do a hypothetical

A spoke

Even number of variable games have many opposite variable games (A sits opposite of B)

In these games opposites arw the most important, and if there is no opposites then blocks are the most important

Odd numbered games can't contain opposites, therefore blocks are the most important

The diagram should be a spoke

The number of variables affects the game

If seat numbers exist then the first sits next to the last

The phrases " to the right/left of" refer to the right and left of the variablw in question and not your right and left

Places opposites first and then blocks

Refer to previous work

Spacial relations

Directional

Supplied diagram

Spacial relations- the rules do not fix the physical relationships among the variables. Using this information allows the test taker to ascertain the relationships among the variables but not their exact position. Whether a variable is north or south of another is meaningless, so the best approach is to diagram the relationships with arrows or lines

Directional- these games involve a fixed point and all other variables are placed N, S, E, W of that point. The best approach is to use the fixed point and draw each of the four quadrants (NE NW SE SW) around the point

Supplied diagram- always use he diagram

• What is the direction of connection between the variables?
• One way------>
• Bidirectional -------- (noarrow)

• Do the lines have to be straight?
• If not they can loop around and drawing is meaningless

• Can the lines intersect?
• Vey important if the lines must be straight, because if you add no intersection then solutions are limited.

Many mapping games are actuallu grouping games in disguise. So often the best approach is to diagram the grouping relationship as your primary diagram.

Also negative grouping rules indicate a grouping game (if A then not B)

Examine them very closely and especially for a large block because it will probably be the key to the game

Always take the contrapositive

Always write the or so that making inferences is easier

• Write it in the rule like so
• K------> at least 1 or 2

Or write it inside the space of a block.
