This is a grouping game, but there doesn't seem to be enough information to complete the questions.

The first three questions are "must be true" questions, but I don't see how any of the options must be true. I've read the question over several times. Am I missing something?

This is a tricky game! There are so few constraints, but the game is hard to conceptualize. Take a look at my diagram and see if that clears it up (I think once you have the game scenario conceptualized, the questions become much easier). I played it as an assignment game, there are no conditional statements that indicate it's a binary grouping game.

Tell me if that clears it up.

Thanks for the quick response. This set up really helps. I had something similar but had missed that more than 2 people can fly in each plan.

One thing that really confused me is that it doesn't say whether the same pilot or co-pilot can fly in multiple plans. I assumed that they could. So in question 20, where B/C can both be in plane 2, I assumed that A could also be in plane 2.

The question doesn't say that pilots cannot be in multiple planes. Should we just assume as much? Thanks again

Hey im confused as well... I wasn't sure if the pilot/ co-pilots could fly in multiple planes...

Where exactly in the rules does it limit the pilots from flying in multiple planes?

I guess if they are all aboard planes that are flying to the show, they can't be aboard two planes at the same time? Right?

I had a really tough time w/ this game.

The implied one plane per person is tough, since we're generally on the look-out for such "loopholes." It seems here it's a commonsense implied rule (though one could argue that an airshow could involve someone landing and getting into a different plane - though don't the kids get bored then?). The closest thing I could find to the game noting the rule is in the first two contraints, in which we learn who is aboard a plane - though the way it's phrased it still leaves a bit of wiggle room. Annoying!

Frankly, I think the LSAT is a bit more careful these days, so don't sweat it.
