Rule Questions

[hnadgauda]

On page 212 of the LG Strategy Guide, I answered #1 as B. I don't understand why B is wrong and E is right. Why do we need to prevent I in slots 5 and 6? This is not an inference I made when setting up the diagram and I don't understand why it has to be true.

If you set up the game WITHOUT the rule about "no consecutive inexperienced", you have this:

e....e.....i
(K , O) L/M J N M/L


WITH the rule, we also knew that J had to be "e"

e....e.....i.....e
(K , O) L/M J N M/L

We didn't know what spots 5 and 6 would be, in terms of "i" and "e", but we know they can't BOTH be "i".
Thus, at least one of them is "e". We could add that to our diagram if we wanted.

e....e.....i.....e....(e, i/e)
(K , O) L/M J N M/L

If we think about the gap between our diagram WITHOUT the rule and our diagram WITH the rule, we have two goals
1. make sure that J is "e"
2. make sure we don't do "i i" in the last two spots

(B) only does the first.
(E) does both.

Hope that helps
