A Practice Logic Game – Pat the Party Planner

by

We were saddened to realize that one of our Logic Challenges was looking suspiciously similar to a real LSAT game. While we try to make our games LSAT-like, we don’t like to have them feel like copies of real ones. So, we’ve replaced #25 with the following. Enjoy!

Pat the Planner is planning her perfect party. The party will go from 8 pm to midnight. During this time, 8 different musical bands—K, L, M, N, O, P, R, and Q—each of which has at least one member in one of the other bands, will perform, each for thirty minutes.

The following conditions apply

At least one person in band M is in both bands K and O.
At least one person in band R is in both bands N and L.
O performs before K but after M.
P performs before L but after N.
No musician can perform in consecutive time slots.

1. Which of the following could be the order of bands that perform, from first to last?

(A) M, N, O, P, Q, L, K, R
(B) M, N, O, P, L, R, K, Q
(C) N, M, P, K, R, O, L, Q
(D) Q, N, M, L, P, O, K, R
(E) K, N, P, R, O, M, L, Q

2. It could be true that O performs in all the following positions except:

(A) Second
(B) Third
(C) Fourth
(D) Fifth
(E) Sixth

3. If M performs fourth, it must be true that

(A) M performs before P
(B) N performs before Q
(C) O performs after P
(D) O performs before L
(E) Q performs before O

4. If N performs after K, it must be true that

(A) There is 1 possible order of bands.
(B) There are 2 possible orders of bands.
(C) There are 3 possible orders of bands.
(D) There are 4 possible orders of bands.
(E) There are 5 possible orders of bands.

5. Which of the following rules would have the same effect as knowing that L performs third?

(A) N performs first.
(B) P performs second./p>
(C) R performs fifth.
(D) P performs immediately before L.
(E) L performs immediately before M.

6. If R performs immediately before M, the first and second bands to perform could, respectively, be each of the following EXCEPT:

(A) R, M
(B) N, Q
(C) N, P
(D) Q, N
(E) Q, R
