The cultural bias in these question is staggeringly repellent. Very disrespectful of the "don't give a fuck about no logic" ethos of bastard Irish dirt farming people like mine. I feel belittled, as if yesterday's finger-measuring wasn't humiliating enough...

Sorry to spoil the fun, but these aren't real LSAT questions.

Ha I took the LSAT once without studying for fun. So far I have #1 as A. I hated this section though, and think I'll leave the rest for everyone else.

@2 - How so? They look exactly like the "logic games" section of the LSAT. Which would be the section I scored worst on. So, no. I will not play along with your evil mind games, Bethany.

Q: Why do lawyers wear neck ties?

A: So their foreskins don't creep up over their heads.

Fuck this, I am not helping you get into law school without a promise for pro-bono representation the next time I am in jail.

Studying for the bar exam is making me downright nostalgic for the good old days of the LSAT. 3 hr multiple-choice test > two-and-a-half day 24-essay hatefuck.

@19: For #2, VUTYXWZ is an acceptable series.

@#11, It sure looks like the test I took two years ago.

I refuse to do this ever again. It was my worst section EASILY. Having only gone to ultra shitty California public schools, then Evergreen, i had never even seen a logic puzzle before the LSAT. It was pretty miserable.

Thanks for nothing, Bethany Jean Clement. Thanks for nothing.

Me get automated time release blog posting software someday ...

@20 From where I see it, that's why @19 is correct. V is first, U must play immediately after, Y or Z must play immediately after W, which must go after X. So to start, only T, Y, or Z can go last, but neither T or Y can go last, so it must be Z that plays seventh.

I got the same answers as @19.

My answers matched up with the posted solutions, but I'm confused as to what this has to do with being a lawyer. Did I miss my calling? D: (Mathematician here.)

@23 Yup! I meant @18, not @19.

As for #5, potential combinations are: NLJM, NLKQ and NLKM. Therefore, C.

@11 I suspect you can take these kinds of questions and just substitute details to make a new story. LSAT madlibs, if you will.
