I made this to think backwards for my test. Time limit is 8 minutes.

12 players are in a mumble channel for an LTD pug: Apple Tea, Chrome Mike, Dopey, Fierce, Geri, Jay, Lupe, Poochiefox, Queen , Sempai, Won and Yams . Only 8 will play the pug. The following rules apply:

1. Apple Tea will not play if Lupe and Dopey both play.
2. If Apple Tea plays Queen also plays.
3. Chrome Mike will not play the pug unless Geri plays.
4. There cannot be more than 3 girls in the game.
5. If Chrome Mike and Jay both play then Poochiefox must also play.


1. Which of the following could be an accurate list of players.
   a. Queen, Chrome Mike, Dopey, Geri, Apple Tea, Jay, Yams, Fierce
   b. Yams, Apple tea, Jay, Geri, Sempai, Fierce, Won, Queen
   c. Lupe, Jay, Queen, Geri, Fierce, Chrome Mike, Poochiefox, Yams
   d. Lupe, Dopey, Sempai, Won, Queen, Fierce, Yams, Apple Tea
   e. Jay, Chrome Mike, Geri, Sempai, Lupe, Dopey, Yams, Won

2. Which of the following 3 people can NEVER be in the game at the same time
   a. Lupe, Dopey, Poochiefox
   b. Queen, Fierce, Won
   c. Geri, Poochiefox, Won,
   d. apple tea, Queen, dopey
   e. Dopey, Lupe, Apple Tea


3. If  Sempai and Won both play, what could the rest of the game look like
   a. Dopey, Chrome Mike, Geri, Queen,  Yams, Jay
   b. Queen, jay, Geri, Yams, Chrome Mike, Poochiefox
   c. Fierce, Yams, Lupe, Chrome Mike , Geri, Dopey
   d. Apple Tea, Poochiefox, Chrome Mike, Lupe, Jay, Dopey
   e. jay, fierce, queen, yams, chrome mike, apple tea

4. If Dopey and Lupe both abstain from the game, which 2 players MUST play the game
   a. Won and Geri
   b. Queen and Geri
   c. jay and won
   d. sempai and Queen
   e. Sempai and Poochiefox

5. If lupe becomes a comedian and takes 3 of the girls with him to go on a comedy tour instead of playing LTD, which of the following people cannot play
   a. geri 
   b. poochiefox
   c. queen
   d. apple tea
   e. sempai

what the fuck is on my screen right now

1. C
2. E
3. C
4. C

If dopey and lupe both abstain then we can deduce a few things.

rule 1 is irrelevant because it only is applicable if lupe and dopey do play. the contrapositive would indicate that if apple tea is playing that either lupe, dopey or both of them are sitting out which we already know.

the rule that helps us the most here is rule #4. There cannot be more than 3 girls in a game. With a total of 12 players and 7 of them being guys that lets us know that 5 of the spots are a, c, f, j, y.

from there we can use rules 2 and 3 to deduce that queen must play because apple tea is playing and that geri must play since chrome mike is there. So the answer is B.
 


   a. Won and Geri
   b. Queen and Geri
   c. jay and won
   d. sempai and Queen
  e. Sempai and Poochiefox

A, D, and E all fall into the same category.
The only girls that are required to play are geri, poochiefox and queen based on rules 2, 3 and 5. In this scenario there is no room for players that could play, the absence of lupe and dopey precipitates a solid order of 8 that cannot be changed. therefore sempai and won cannot play no matter what.

i mean i thought i was taking what is typically a dreaded and often mundane topic and adding some fun to it. anyone whos familiar w/ these told me it was awesome and even if you've never seen these kinds of things before its still a lot of fun! but if you said it i guess itstrue

Seriously now, what the fuck is this even about here. Haha
