For folks who are really good at LG

How often do you find yourself correcting your work when doing a logic game? So after you make your initial deductions and you create your hypothetical diagrams, how often do you find something in a place where it actually could not go? I guess I'm asking, how frequent are your small mistakes?

For me it mostly happens with a basic question "which is the one that can be in spot 5". I may find one that fits, but I check through each answer to make sure. Sometimes I find another that fits and get confused, so I go back through the rules and find out what I overlooked to get it wrong. Doesn't happen that often, but it isn't uncommon either IME.

Not too often.

Usually, I spend some time making initial sketch dedcutions -> then, jump to hypos thereby expanding my deductions and preserving all sketches.

Such mistakes happen when I am really exhausted.

ltowns, do you think it happens b/c of your LG skills or some other factors?

Hope it helps :)

I just wondering about my ratio for error is. I know there are times where you get big deductions, and the small deductions that you get are convoluted by complicated language. PT 55 game 4 is an example of it. I know it's an extremely hard game, but I felt that just putting variables down helped me to see how the game unfolded better.
