You know you're obsessed with the LSAT when... Forum

BUMP

Also, when you start to evangelize for the LSAT. "No, really, it's an awesome test! Let me show you some logic games!"

Wow. I actually did this 3 weeks ago when my friend came over. he just stared at me like wtf ...

When you look over the LSAC approved items to bring to the testing center and immediately start picturing a grouping LG. "If Linda does not bring tissues, then Frank brings a bottle of water."

This is bad...

I love this answer!

[notaznguy]

LOL I started evangelizing the LSAT by showing people problems -___-;;

Otherwise, for me it's just every time I hear quantifiers, I subconsciously think of the logical ladder. So whenever someone says, "I have some of the Harry Potter books" I think "Hmm, he has at least 1 or even all of them."

Status Update: "LOL Mark got beat by a girl! He sucks at Call of Duty!"

My Mind: "Mark does not suck at call of duty because a girl did not beat him."

You read all 11 pages of this thread in a fit of nostalgia two months after having already finished the LSAT for the lsat last time.

When your girlfriend dumps you because she is jealous of the LSAT

[Perdevise]

An inscription on my undergraduate university's wall reads:

Wisdom is the principle thing. Therefore, get wisdom.

I immediately think, there is an unstated assumption that people should get principle things.

[blink]

the first thing your girlfriend threatens to do if you cheated on her is to burn all your lsat stuff...

[am060459]

a little over a year from your last lsat you cant wait to buckle down and conquer the lsat this time around

[iowalum]

...you spend all day at your stupid retail job thinking about the LSAT... there are 6 customers in line... A can only go to your line if C does not... OMG

[proxy]

You incite political debates at work, then sit back and make note of all assumptions, mistaken negations, and mistaken reversals as the chaos ensues. Then you buy everyone involved lunch to mend injuries resulting from ad hominems.

when you wake up from some anxious mid-test LSAT dream confusedly muttering "some... most.. many.."

when you read the thread title and smile.


when you read the thread title and spend the next ten minutes contemplating which obession to write down.

Whenever you see a number in the 70's and attach a 1 to the front and wish it's your LSAT score =\

the number 120...160..and...180 no matter where you see them make you feel like you should be studying

I don't think so. It's saying "Mark sucks at Call of Duty because he got beat by a girl".

Beat by a girl -> Sucks at CoD
~Sucks at CoD -> ~Beat by a girl

So we see that saying "Mark does not suck at CoD because a girl did not beat him" (~Beat by a girl -> ~Sucks at CoD) is actually a mistaken negation (mistaken reversal? I don't remember the term).

1) LOL Mark got beat by a girl! He sucks at Call of Duty!"

which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument?

a) Mark normally plays on Xbox 360
b) All girls suck at video games
c) If Mark got beat by a girl, he sucks at Call of Duty.
d) The girl that beat Mark consistently performs well in CoD tournaments
e) If Mark sucks at Call of Duty, he gets beat by a girl

Holy shit because you think I'm mistaken (I HOPE NOT!), or holy shit because I took the time to work that out?
