16
Q

Complete variable list questions

A

List every variable that could be in _____ position during any solution, without violating any rules.

17
Q

How to solve complete variable list questions

A

-Eliminate choices that contain variables that obviously violate rules
-Check al Not laws
-Make hypothetical solutions for remaining answers

18
Q

Maximum/Minimum Questions

A

Identify greatest or least number of possibilities for a certain scenario (fill a spot or placed between two variables, etc.)

19
Q

How to answer maximum/minimum questions

A
  1. Check prior work to make eliminations
  2. Consider abstract relationships between rules.
  3. Make a solution that should match the right answer.
20
Q

Truth range for minimum/maximum questions

A

Correct answer is always Must be True

21
Q

5 if questions

A

5 choices, all begin with “If”

Each answer choice is kind of it’s own unique question

SKIP IF LOW ON TIME

22
Q

Justify questions

A

Select an answer choice that forces a specified result

23
Q

How to solve a justify question

A

-Focus on which variables are most powerful/which spaces are most restricted
-Pay attention to MBT vs CBT in the question stem.
-Work backwards.

24
Q

Suspension questions

A

-Always at the END of the game

-SKIP IF LOW ON TIME

-Answer is based on the removal of a global rule

25
Rule Substitution Questions
Combo of Suspension and Justify Rule is suspended, and you select answer choice with a different rule but same "effect" SKIP IF LOW ON TIME
26
Which question types should you SKIP IF LOW ON TIME, or do last
"5 if" Suspension Rule Substitution
27
What is a hypothetical
A possible solution that you quickly create to gain insight.
