Q24

by mcrittell Sun Jul 03, 2011 2:18 am

I don't understand the question's hypothetical. If L can't connect to O, how can O exist in the continuous route? I understand that B) means that N would have 3 connections, but I still can't visualize the hypothetical the question sets forth.

Take a look at the attached diagram and you'll see the solution for how to set up the diagram given the new constraint in the question stem. It's definitely tricky!

I redid this game, and I was thrown off of 24 for a different reason. I chose D because it says that N is connected to "exactly 2 other chalets." I thought using the word "other" implied more than 3 chalets, breaking rule 1. Ideas on how to prevent this in the future? Thanks

Can I answer your question with a question! Other than what? So N would connect with 2 other chalets and what?

They're just setting the precise number of chalets that N will connect with.

Does that answer your question, or do you see something I'm missing?
