Question on Test 34
Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2010 9:55 pm
I was hoping someone could help explain this to me:
The first problem set for the Analytical Section (Section 4)
It is a line of nine spots occupied by 5 people, where everyone has two spots except O. Anyways, one of the conditions says that O is in a line that is after "either of K's spots" and before "at least one of L's"
I took that to mean that of the two spots that K took, O could be after one or both of them- basically that there'd have to be at least one K that was before O and at least one L that was after O...
After a lot of frustration seeing multiple scenario's work out between the answer choices, I realized that it only worked when O was after BOTH K spots. However, I've always learned that either to mean one, both, but never neither which makes this very confusing to me.
If anyone has any insight or know what I'm talking about, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank-you!
