Like i said the has been driving me nuts.

 

[reverend boltron]

Lke that pirate with the steering wheel in his pants? 🙂

Looks like something you'd see on the lsat. You just need to know how to handle logic games.

 

[reverend boltron]

Okay, well, regardless, we know that sports and sales car pool together, since the lathe worker rides his harley and the chef lives across town.. and we know that the lathe worker makes the most, because if he didn't then they would have mentioned him making less than the chef too.. right? so that gives us something to work with. right?

This isn't a very good logical puzzle. It requires some broad assumptions.

Where did you get this? The information really isn't helpful to make it so you can really answer the question.

 

[Cooler]

It was in a book and i need the anwser by tomarow.

 

[reverend boltron]

Is it legal to assume that because they didn't say that the lathe worker made less than the chef that he actually makes the same or more than him?

 

[Cooler]

I would not Know about that.

 

[reverend boltron]

okay, well, here is what i have.. ASSUMING that just because they didn't say that the lathe worker makes less than the chef that he still CAN make LESS than him.. here is how i got to my answer:

chef lives across town, so he doesn't carpool
lathe worker rides his harley to work
sports and sales carpool
Dwyer and Hong carpool
Hong wins at tennis against Garago
hong = sports writer
Dwyer = sales
Garago = lathe b/c Hong doesnt know the chef well and garago and hong play tennis
Slocom = chef

 

[njmodi]

Garago - Chef
Hong - Sales
Dwyer - Sports Writer
Solcumb - Lathe

Assumption: Lathe operater makes less than a sports writer.

 

[Cooler]

That sounds good but i need to make sure that its 100% correct what will work under no assumptions. Also please list your steps.

I wonder if it was the sort of question where the answer is that the details aren't sound enough for an answer.

 

[Strk]

I'm a little interested myself. Because the question doesn't really work unless you make some big assumptions.
