Q24

I still don't understand why there cannot be "0" assistants.
Even though I've read the thread which was posted on diagram topic. Could anybody help me out? Thank you.

Do you mean zero assistants promoted?

If so, it's because we're told in the set up:

"...at least one person is promoted from each of the two lower ranks..."

Let me know if I have misunderstood your question!

Oh my gosh. Sorry for the confusion.
I was misunderstanding the question and the explanations under the topic of "Diagram".

I read this, and I was creating own questions... Dah!!!

Question #24:
Again, the key rule gives you a quick answer. One must move from each level one level up in each annual review, so we couldn't have 0, because then there would be no one to move up from associate to partner. The lack of any other rules that apply to the situation should lead you to see that you then have the answer: 1 is the minimum.

Sorry, maryadkins! I got it now. And because of you, I've just realized I was scatterbrain on this one. Thank you so much!
