Diagram

Here's a .pdf showing how we diagrammed this one and worked through the questions.

Did you have a different way of doing it? We love to hear it / see it.

And if you're having trouble following our inferences or symbolization, feel free to ask us follow-up questions.

when I played this game the first time i did something very old fashion.

I set up an order line _ _ _ and made two chains which I then linked
1 2 3

Sw - Tw
\
Tv
/
Iv
\
Sv

and Iw is a free radical
(I think the diagram I made wont post properly)
and made inferences on my number line of where things can't go

__ __ __
1 2 3
Sv Iv
Tv Sw
Tw Iw (Iv can't later than 2 so Iw can't be after it)

This did take some chugging and plunking and I had to keep V not before W rule in mind but it worked


Your way builds the game around the v not before w rule but it can be hard to keep track of the placement of S T I.

I will have to play it again before I make up my mind.

Here's another approach:

And here are frames built around the second rule:
