Grouping Games- in and out?

Post by Marinekingprime » Fri Jun 03, 2011 1:08 pm

I apologize in advance for this stupid question. Can all grouping games be done using the in/out format?

No they cannot. Imagine more than 2 groups, and all variables are used.

No. Many grouping games require you to deal with dividing the elements into multiple groups that are not about who is in and who is out.

In/out games are about whether the elements can, must or cannot be selected to end up in the 'in group' or the 'out group'. Other grouping type games are about dividing the elements into categories.

If you are having trouble with grouping games, review numerical distribution concepts.
