Logic Games - Making Difficult Inferences vs Jumping into Questions
Posted: Tue Aug 13, 2019 11:51 pm
I've been working through the PowerScore Logic Games Bible, and I'm noticing that there are times when they make some rather difficult inferences where their explanation seems to be along the lines of "if you place variable X in this spot, you can place variable Y in either this spot or this spot. If you do the former, there's no room for such and such, and if you do the latter, there's no room for such and such". I would give specific examples, but I'm not sure if maybe that would be bad since it might "spoil" the logic game for someone who might be using it in a practice test later.
Basically, my question is - should I be focusing on learning to make difficult inferences during setup, or should I make the "easier" inferences and jump into the questions and hope things fall into place? I know a lot of this depends on just how difficult the inferences are, so I wish I could provide a better explanation of the type of inference I'm talking about. I'm getting almost all of the core/basic inferences already.
