Manhattan Logic prep book

[dongheonoh75]

Hi, I was wondering if the following is typo or my misunderstanding in 5th ed. LG prep book.

1. Ch5., p188,

below 3., RIght to the diagram, KP is boxed and I'd like to know why KP is there.

2. Ch5., p195,
in 2., it says "(e.g., in the above, P in lane four could have also worn a white cap, but it could not wear a red one.)" It seems though that only H can be in lane four.

Thank you!

Yeah, on pg. 188, the box should be a no-"RR", meaning "don't let yourself put two R's next to each other".

And on pg. 195, it should have been saying "P in lane three".

Sorry about those. Good catch!

Thank you for explanation

Couple of questions in 5th ed LG.

1. Ch6, p258, #3 explanation has " NO " I'd like to know what this means or whether this is relevant to this question of not.

2. Ch9, p379, in the first paragraph of the page and the t-chart, I was wondering if it should have been "H M" in the OUT column, not "L M"

Just wondering, is this the right place to inquire for possible typo or explanation of the text in the book or any other place/email I can post/send to?

Thank you!!

On pg. 258, I think the "NO" is just how they're labeling the OUT column. (i.e. "NOT played")

On pg. 379, you're right --- the placeholder should be H/M in the out column.
In fact, on pg. 378, there are mysterious lines connecting M and L. I don't know where those came from.

There's no rule that says
M --> ~L
L --> ~M

Someone apparently added those lines and then added a placeholder on pg. 379 to reflect that imaginary rule. Thanks for pointing it out.

For now, yes, this is the best place to check in about errors/typos. I just emailed the forum developer about creating some threads for Errata in the 5th edition books so that we can organize it all in one place.

EDIT: There IS indeed a page:
