Were there any numbers/statistics flaws within any weaken, strengthen, or flaw type questions?

No, but there was a Lil Wayne question.

If we say yes - what does that do for you ? Do you study more of these? Do you tell your students to study them for hours each day? Why are you concerned with only this type of question, which are usually not that hard ?

He might be trying to find the key to the LSAT cipher so he can decode and read all the secret messages encrypted within the LSAT that are hidden in and spread across many test forms. Kinda like in the Da Vinci Code or like finding the secret codes and clues needed to control spaceship Destiny in order to discover and unlock the secrets of creation and existence like in Stargate Universe.

You need numbers and math stuff to decode secret coded messages.

It's either that or he's writing his own prep book.

[arabic06]

is that a yes then?

[SupraVln180]

is that a yes then?

it's a no, but it may be a yes.

[arabic06]

so is that a yes and a no?

I think the reaction to this simple question is kind of amusing, but also shows how thin the LSAT has some people stretched. After I'd read about three posts in this thread, I considered responding that OP was probably in the standardized test prep industry and looking for information as to the continuing relevance of a classic question time that has definitely diminished in importance/frequency of appearance over time. I decided to read the whole thread first and...surprise...the simplest answer was the right one. If this were an inference question, a lot of people would have been bombing it (after letting it eat up far too much time)

Any chance of this guy being some kind of third-party narc investigator hired by LSAC?

For the Law School Admission Council, which administers the LSAT four times a year to a total of more than 140,000 people, Caveon patrols the Internet looking for leaked questions on sites it calls “brain dumps,” where students who have just taken an exam discuss it openly.

“There’s all kinds of stuff on the blogs after the test trying to guess which stuff will show up in the future; there’s a whole cottage industry,” said Wendy Margolis, a spokeswoman for the council.

If arabic06 is somebody working for Caveon as a part of what LSAC is paying them to do to insure test security, then LSAC is certainly wasting their $$ and should ask for a refund since if it is it would be a really pathetic undercover detective/investigator attempt.
