A college dean will present seven awards for outstanding language research. The awards -- one for French, one for German, one for Hebrew, one for Japanese, one for Korean, one for Latin, and one for Swahili -- must be presented consecutively, one at a time, in conformity with the following constraints:

The German award is not presented first.
The Hebrew award is presented at some time before the Korean award is presented. The Latin award is presented at some time before the Japanese award is presented. The French award is presented either immediately before or immediately after the Hebrew award is presented. The Korean award is presented either immediately before or immediately after the Latin award is presented.

If the Japanese award is presented at some time before the Swahili award is presented, any of the following could be true EXCEPT:

  1. The German award is presented immediately before the French award is presented.
  2. The German award is presented immediately before the Japanese award is presented.
  3. The Hebrew award is presented immediately before the Latin award is presented.
  4. The Korean award is presented immediately before the Japanese award is presented.
  5. The Swahili award is presented immediately before the German award is presented.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

First, add the new piece of information into our existing sketch to form:
F/HF/H . . . K/LK/L . . . J . . . S
We now have the basic arrangement for six of the seven awards.
What about the seventh award, G? Well, the only restriction on G is that it can't go first. Therefore, we know that the FH pair must be presented first and second, in either order. At this point, we have enough information with which to check the choices. Remember, we're looking for the one choice that cannot possibly be true.

The French award is presented either immediately before or immediately after the Hebrew award is presented. The Korean award is presented either immediately before or immediately after the Latin award is presented.

The order in which the awards are presented is completely determined if which one of the following is true?

  1. The French award is presented immediately before the German award is presented, and the Korean award is presented immediately before the Latin award is presented.
  2. The French award is presented immediately before the Hebrew award is presented, and the Hebrew award is presented immediately before the Korean award is presented.
  3. The French award is presented immediately before the Latin award is presented, and the Korean award is presented immediately before the Japanese award is presented.
  4. The German award is presented immediately before the French award is presented, and the Latin award is presented immediately before the Japanese award is presented.
  5. The German award is presented immediately before the Korean award is presented, and the Hebrew award is presented immediately before the French award is presented.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

This question provides us with no new information. Rather, it asks us for the answer choice that, when added to the rules of the game, would determine the sequence of the awards. Blindly checking each choice could take a while. Instead, let's attack this question strategically. The correct answer choice will somehow have to restrict the placement of the freest entities, G and S. None of the choices mentions S, so let's check the three choices that contain G.



Exactly six piano classes are given sequentially on Monday: two with more than one student and four with exactly one student. Exactly four females -- Gimena, Holly, Iyanna, and Kate -- and five males -- Leung, Nate, Oscar, Pedro, and Saul -- attend these classes. Each student attends exactly one class. The following must obtain:

Iyanna and Leung together constitute one class.
Pedro and exactly two others together constitute one class.
Kate is the first female, but not the first student, to attend a class.

Gimena's class is at some time after Iyanna's but at some time before Pedro's.
Oscar's class is at some time after Glmena's.

Which one of the following students could attend the first class?

  1. Holly
  2. Leung
  3. Oscar
  4. Pedro
  5. Saul

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

Who could be first? Only n or s. The testmaker picked s in option [Saul]. Boom. If you didn't make this deduction up front, you could have figured it out via elimination. The first student couldn't be a female (Rule 3), so option [Holly] is out. Leung is with Iyanna, who is after Kate, so option [Leung] is out. o and p are definitely placed after other entities, so options [Oscar] and [Pedro] are out, and again option [Saul] is correct. But it's faster to scan for the correct answer.

Kate is the first female, but not the first student, to attend a class. Gimena's class is at some time after Iyanna's but at some time before Pedro's.
Oscar's class is at some time after Glmena's.

Which one of the following is a complete and accurate list of classes any one of which could be the class Gimena attends?

  1. the fourth, the fifth
  2. the fourth, the sixth
  3. the second, the fourth, the fifth
  4. the third, the fifth, the sixth
  5. the second, the third, the fourth

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Three classes must be scheduled before G's class (n/s . . . K, and I+l), and so G cannot be second or third.
That kills options [the second, the fourth, the fifth], [the third, the fifth, the sixth] and [the second, the third, the fourth]. p and o come after G, and so G cannot be last.
That kills option [the fourth, the sixth].
·When you get a "complete and accurate" question, you can use the choices strategically. Any choice that is wrong in any respect can be eliminated. Sometimes, you can eliminate many choices at once! ·If the testmakers had been more sadistic, they might have made one of the choices merely "fourth." That would have trapped anyone that didn't see that o and p could be together in the triple class, allowing one of the

H/n/s trio to push G into the fifth position.

  1. Gimena and Holly
  2. Holly and Saul
  3. Kate and Nate
