LSAT Logic Games: Sequencing and Ordering Games 4

Question 1

In a sequencing game, the phrase 'at least two positions before' means:

Accepted Answer

The first variable's position number is at least 2 less than the second's.

Answer

If X is at least two positions before Y, then Y's position − X's position ≥ 2, meaning at least one other slot separates them.

Question 2

A game places five runners in finishing positions 1–5. Clues: H finishes before J; J finishes before K; L finishes before H. Which of the following is a complete list of runners that COULD finish first?

Accepted Answer

L only

Answer

The chain L<H<J<K means L must come before H, H before J, and J before K; only L has no one required before it, so only L can finish first.

Question 3

In a sequencing game, you are told 'either P is before Q, or R is before S, but not both.' If R is before S, which of the following must be true?

Accepted Answer

Q is before P.

Answer

Since the constraint is an exclusive or, if R is before S (second condition is true), then P before Q (first condition) must be false — meaning Q is before P.

Question 4

Six musicians perform in sequence. Violinist (V) performs sometime before Cellist (C). Guitarist (G) performs immediately after Drummer (D). Pianist (P) performs last. Flutist (F) performs first. If C performs third, which of the following could be the complete performance order?

Accepted Answer

F, V, C, D, G, P

Answer

F first, V second, C third, D fourth, G fifth (G immediately after D), P last — all constraints satisfied.

Question 5

A sequencing game involves eight packages delivered in order. Package T is delivered exactly three positions after Package R. If R is delivered second, in what position is T delivered?

Accepted Answer

5th

Answer

R in position 2, plus exactly 3 positions later, places T in position 2 + 3 = 5.
