Ready for a Logic Game Workout?

Take the Logic Games Challenge! Manhattan LSAT posted Logic Games Challenge #34 and they invite our listeners to join in the chance to Win $200 off any LSAT Course or any Manhattan LSAT Strategy Guide (your choice!). The latest challenge: Party Problem (Easy)

The LSAT doesn’t usually deliver easy games of this type, so we figured we’d honor that tradition and make them both tough.

Dylan is hosting a party and invites eight fickle friends—Lance, Matt, Nick, Oscar, Pam, Reena, Sara, and Tracy—some of whom get along, some of whom don’t. The following conditions apply:

  • If Matt comes, Sara will come.
  • If Lance comes, Oscar and Pam will not come.

  • Sara or Tracy, but not both, will come to the party.
 1. Which of the following could be a complete and accurate list of friends who come to the party?

2. Which of the following must be true?

3. If Matt does not attend the party, it must be false that

4. If Oscar attends the party, each of the following must be true EXCEPT:
