2009 June LG Section + Dinos Forum

I found that the Dinos game wasn't too difficult with my setup... but the section as a whole hard in terms of finishing on time because I didn't get through the 1st and 2nd ones fast enough, and the 4th was somewhat difficult also. Ended up with -6 because of time constraints. Anyone else have this issue? Also how was my setup for the Dino game? Am I missing a key deduction or anything?

This is a good diagramming of the basic rules of the game, but you can create multiple main diagrams based upon some key inferences regarding which dinosaurs can be mauve.

Here's my approach to the game's setup and all associated questions:

Interesting... I didn't even think to draw all the possible Mauve scenarios.

Thanks for the reply! Your blog is always quite helpful. I wonder how much time that would have saved.

Glad to help - yes, it saves a ton of time.

I'd suggest completing the game again, without looking at the explanations. See how long it takes you to complete the game using the various mauve scenarios.
