Mysterious Game - Need Help!

[sls2008]

Hi Everyone,

There is a game on the LSAT that I remember seeing once, but I can't remember the test number.  It has to do with four offices and the purchase of a computer and printer for each office.  The models of each computer and printer are from 1987, 1988, or 1989.  I was hoping to practice it again, but I can't remember which test to look to. 

Any help would be appreciated!

It's from the June 1991 LSAT, game #2. That's LSAT PrepTest 1, fyi.

Isn't that one of the oddball pattern or something games?  I hate those weird ones and want to them.

No, it's actually a linear game with four variable sets. You have 4 offices, which end up being the base set, and then there is a computer and printer in each of the four offices. For each space you put in 7, 8, or 9 for the year bought.

The rules are really interesting, and create a chain of relationships from the computer/printer in each office to the next. Because of this chain of relationships, there's only a one or two yearly options for each computer or printer. This is super limiting and actually makes the game really easy in the end.

It's one of those games where the setup takes a bit of work, but once you have it down, you can roll right through the questions.

Thanx, that clears things up a little.  I'm going to try that one again.  First time I did it I was very confused and kept writing out a bunch of hypos for each question cuz I didn't make much of a set-up and it took me forever to work through it and still got most questions wrong.
