Anyone remember the content of these questions? I remember one asking what A discusses that B demonstrates... also what was the "black swan" in passage 2? I had to rush through this in 5 minutes... something tells me it was fairly easy. fuking native american bead passage took me too long

It was also painfully obvious that LG section was experimental... 3 super easy games took me about 12 minutes followed by 20 minutes of god knows what
Anyone?

Read literally any page in this thread. Magazines and museum shifts was real lg

Woah there cowboy! I recall only weekdays! I hope my memory is just going bad from fatigue.

Definitely only weekdays. I checked a few times.

I've worried about this test for months and now I am free. I'm not sure how I feel about it.

I am praying to the fucking lord jesus ( I am not religious) that I didn't do bad on the first ssection of LR. I am so paranoid. I think I fucked up games )(answered bits and pieces of 2-3, i think most of 2) but 3 screwed me. but one of my LR felt amazing and RC felt great until the last passage.

I now know if I don't get a 160 I may cry. please god.

Thanks!!! Can you please find the poll results from the past several waiting threads to see accuracy? I am currently computerless so it would take awhile.

That one took some retro SAT style analogy set up in my brain, but I worked it out. Definitely solvable.

is it possible for there to be multiple LR experimental sections? I'm having an extremely hard time figuring out which LR was experimental or not; it seems that others with three LRs are getting different questions from the ones I had, and I also had 3 LRs.

Lol I don't know. You're probably right. I was too concerned about the board of directors game on the experimental to remember specifics of any of the other games.

The real LG went robbers acquaintances being caught (I think?) - Magazines - something Monday through Friday - Fall and Spring. This is all I remember.

Elephants were real.

I had
RC
LR
LR
LG
LR

I just wish I could remember to which LR (1 or 2) the elephants belonged in.

Either way, get drunk and take the night off. We've all earned it.

Elephants were real.

Well I guess LR2 was my experimental then. Actually I felt better about LR1 anyways haha

This is absolutely true. I can do the entire game in my head from memory, but I couldn't do it at the time. Pretty sure I guessed on 3 and looking back on it I'm not confident about my other answers.

Really disappointing.

thank god the director game was experimental... did anyone solve that problem anyway? i guessed on like 4questions.

SirArthurDayne · Post by **SirArthurDayne** » Sat Oct 03, 2015 5:13 pm

There was a NOPE question that had me going in circles. I keep trying to figure out how the remaining answer could fill the gap but it seemed more of a NOPE instead. I ended wasting 2 mins on that question.

LG 3:

I didn't split up, and I don't see how you'd do so

Shift LL over 4 times?

Not a fan of more than 3 gameboards

Not sure what you mean? Llike the actual numbers? I posted them a few posts after the one you just quoted if so.

Please feel free to correct me if my math is wrong. I'm kinda tipsy and bad at math.

All the past TLS "TestMonth Year Waiting Thread" have poll results listed of curve predictions so I want to compare their predictions to what the actual curves turned out to be for fun/ because I'm obsessive like that

Ya it was a pretty straightforward analogy imho. You just had to figure out what the white swans were and then it fell into place.
