How do you set this one up? I can't seem to figure in Atlas code if it's a 3D Numbering Line or a closed board assignment game? Could it be both? One thing I encountered in the logic games book is that it doesn't really dress games with more variables than slots. Of course, I am probably thinking too narrowly about the games and not thinking outside the box.

This game is tough with a lot of uncertainty. I would prefer if this 3D Numbered Ordering game had a few more inferences that could be made before you begin the questions. This game requires a lot of plug and chug. Set up the game board, notate the constraints, look for inferences (which there really aren't many) and get going with the questions!

I've attached the setup, if you'd like to take a look.

Also, you mentioned something about having more characters than spaces. That is a twist on this game. There's an element of selection going on. Choose six, distribute to either the am or the pm row, and order one through three. We've seen regular Numbered Ordering Games that do something similar - of eight, choose six, and order them. It's not uncommon for them to give you either more characters than spaces or more spaces than characters.

Let me know if you have a specific question from this game, you'd like to take a look at!

Could someone please post the answers to questions 7-12 as I don't have them for PT13.

I think there's a problem with the conditions as described on the diagram...

P1 --> F2 + H2 (not L2)
&
P2 --> F3 + H3 (not L3)

One thing that I would add to the diagram posted above is a space to put the unused lectures. Once I was able to account for the unused lectures in this way, the game became a lot easier for me, in terms of reducing the uncertainty.

For example, on Question #14, the condition in the question makes it impossible for O to be scheduled on any day, therefore, either S or W must be scheduled on the morning of Day 1.

Similarly, Question #16 indicates that neither F nor N is scheduled for any day, so in combination with rule #2, it is clear that S & W must be given in the morning, and this forces P into one of the slots on Day 3.

Question #17 forces S&W out, meaning that N, O, and P are the lectures that are to be given on the afternoon, and their placement is completely determined as a result of rules 1 and 4.

To second you Daniel:
So in addition to two the stacked 1,2,3 slots I would make a bar somewhere, or indicate the "out group"
This is a hybrid game, linearity mixed with grouping!
You must notice that the out group is limited to two people, which is pretty key in this game. Look at question 14,15,16,17 they all reference the out group!
