PT 27 Game 4 Forum

Never met a game like this before. Kind of surprised me so I got a -1 and it took way too long. Is there something I should know about games like this? Any kind of general strategy tips. #23 especially was just me writing hypotheticals...

Just do the game again. I had a problem with it the first time as well. But, the second time around I kicked myself for making mistakes. I completed it in 4 minutes or something like that. I believe there is a lightbulb game that is similar. But I may be wrong. I wasnt able to compare them.

Do it again. Also when the June 2010 test comes out do that. There was a game on that similar to this one.

Realize that its merely a linear game with repeating variables. Its not actually hard, but just different. Because the games are so predictable, any variation can really shock people which can make games hard, even if they are not.

This game isnt that bad. Its simple once you diagram it and get the rules in there. The last one does require a few hypos, but you dont need to do one for every answer. The best way to approach the last question is to combine the 1sr rule, 2nd rule and the last rule. If you do this rule youll quickly be able to tell where the 3 Green cars cant be and thus where they must be.
