Mistake on February 1994 Logic Game??

Post by revahp00 » Mon Aug 22, 2011 3:28 pm

Hey everyone- Long time troll here first time poster

I'm currently studying for lsats and came across a logic game from February 1994 where I believe there is a mistake on the part of the "makers".

The question asks: If O is selected for the first Sunday, which one of the following is a concerto that must also be selected:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)

The correct listed answer is (B), and I can see how (B) can be correct. That is, if O is first then J cannot be selected because O, under the condition proposed in the question stem, is first. And, since 2 of H, J, and K, must be selected, and since J cannot be selected with O, then naturally K must occur.
However, I can also see how (D) can be correct. My reasoning for why (D) can be correct is as follows: If O is selected then M cannot be selected, and if M is not selected then N must be selected. Does anyone see how my reasoning may be flawed? Thanks!

EDITED BY MOD.

Actually found the flaw in my own reasoning after typing the whole darn thing out! Thanks.
For those who are interested I made a mistaken reversal of the contrapositive of N---> not (M)
