I really, really hate this game. The first time I took this PT, 1 month ago, I only got through 13 LG questions but got them all right. The second time yesterday 19, all correct. But this game still kills me.
The key deductions seem to be that among FLMPS, only J and R can go in L or M. Also, G is F +P/s or P/S. I drew like 5 templates for this game and then painstakingly compared them to the answer choices, then screwed one up, and had to start over. Any simple way to do this game?

Re: PT 49 S1 Game 2
I wrote up explanations for this - I'll pm you the link - but I didn't find any inference that really ripped this game open wide. It seemed to come down to deft management of the rules.
Maybe someone else figured out something ground-breaking...

Re: PT 49 S1 Game 2
Thank you for the explanation:
One question, though: In a game that requires writing so many hypos, why do you use RGJ as the base, creating three stacks, instead of FLMPS? Is it always best to use the set with the fewest variables as the base, or just here?
