Writing conditional statements + CP's using Logic Chain?

Post by OnionKnight » Tue Aug 28, 2012 1:13 pm

Howdy. I'm currently learning Manhattan's technique for solving binary group games. My question is: is the expectation that one should internally express the conditional rules, and then from there create the Chain, or take the time to write out the conditional statements and THEN create the logic chain?

It seems writing them out is more accurate but more time-consuming, whereas internalizing the conditionals is quicker, but could be more costly for accuracy. Thoughts?

I've been doing it internally and just mentally going over the conditional as I'm writing the arrows.

I'm doing the same. Feels more organic, and saves me time. I must confess, I'm having a much easier time with these types of games using Manhattan's technique as opposed to PowerScore's, which felt more open-ended and incomplete.
