21
Q

When grades are listed as the base,

A

grades listed to the LEFT are “higher” or “better”

22
Q

Blocks

A

[Y Z] - Represent fixed spatial relationship, variables that are next to each other

23
Q

Split-Blocks

A

[D __ E] 0 Indicate that the variables are separated by a fixed number of spaces

24
Q

In the linear stream, day 1 is

A

“before” day 2

25
Spaces Ahead or Spaces Before
Count the spaces from one variable to the other
26
->__ E
1 day before
27
->__ __ E
2 days before
28
-> [D __ E]
D is two days before E
29
G __
1 group behind
30
G __ __
2 groups behind
31
G __ __ __
3 groups behind
32
Spaces between or Spaces separated by
Put the exact number of spaces between the two variables
33
[M __ __ __ L]
3 spaces between
34
Rotating Blocks
[S T] [T S] - A fixed relationship where the order of the variables are not knows (ex: S and T are on consecutive days, but we don't know which one is first)
35
Rotating Split-blocks
[Q __ __ R] and [R __ __ Q] compacted to: [Q/R __ __ R/Q] - Rule says that Q and R are separated by two days, but not which variable is first
36
Not-blocks
[Q/R] - a slash over the block - The Variables cannot be next to one another OR cannot be separated by a fixed amount of space
37
Not-block split blocks
[D _/_ E] - slash through the space(ex: D is not inspected 2 days before E is inspected)
38
3 variables linked in a sequence like H > Q > R will always yield
six Not laws
