Question regarding the fourth game
Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 9:50 am
Hi guys,
I have a question pertaining to the fourth game and the 'sketchy' rule that's been brought up in a different thread.
When I got to game 4, I didn't find it to be super-hard (though it was challenging) nor any rules to be ambiguous. The conditions seemed reminiscent of several previous games I've taken, and I went ahead and diagrammed my way through it.
Having seen the 15+ pages thread regarding the fourth game, however, I now feel a bit paranoid. My question is this: Would it have been possible to have misinterpreted the rule in question and still get through the game w/o noticing something's off? Normally, if I would get a rule wrong or misread something in a game during a PT, I would notice my mistake by the second question at the latest, as I would most often end up with two 'right' choices or all 'wrong' choices. Then, going back, I would redraw the rule I got wrong and things would fall into place.
Frankly, my mind is completely blank about the specifics of the rules (I only vaguely recall certain restrictions), and I don't remember the text of the game at all, specifically the controversial part of the rule.
I don't think I misinterpreted it, as the game seemed to go smoothly with only one answer choice remaining for every question, but is there a chance that one could go through a game with the wrong rule in place and still come up with one answer choice for all the questions?
Such a scenario never happened to me personally, but the apparent difficulty people had with the fourth game has me worried that I answered the questions with the wrong rule without noticing anything being off.
