Not a particularly tough diagram - but if anyone's interested...

Re: PT 60, S2, G3 - The Interns Games

I found that this game was a lot of plug and chug. But it is A LOT harder without the two critical inferences that you noted:

1) J MUST be PA.
2) G, L MUST be WA

So then a lot of the uncertainty is due to the interplay between K and F, but once the two inferences are set up, the questions go quite quickly.

When I first did this game, I didn't make these inferences, and it took forever.

Got rocked doing this the first time, had to brute force most of it. Second time around I worked with the H = Pa hypo and just set up H as Pa in all three stories and had to work from there. Finished in 9 minutes. Yah the inferences cyrus made are HUGE but I dare say it's impossible to make unless you work out at least 3 to 4 hypos before seeing it.

This one also took me forever the first time I did it. The key inference came to me thinking about it later. It made the game much easier and quicker running through it the second time with that inference.

Basically, because G and L must be on the same "line" (as WA or PA) then the third spot must be occupied by F or K because they are being trained in different fields. So either the WAs or PAs are G, L, & F/K. That leaves an F/K combination for the other line w/ H and J. Combine this inference with the fact that H must be a PA and walla! G and L must be WAs, making J a PA along with H.

Additionally a lot of the questions seemed to set up a F, G and L situation as WAs. That left K as a PA, meaning that H must go to Spain because K can't (and J is already going to Tuscany). This basic inference seemed to also be tested on a couple questions.
