Diagram

by GinaK999 Tue Jun 09, 2020 10:29 am

Hello,

Would someone be able to post their diagram for this game? Although I solved it using frames, it took way too long (came out to 5 frames) so I'm wondering if I made the wrong divisions and how to be more efficient.

Thank you!

I wouldn't frame this game, personally. There are two splits: F/H in T, and F/G out. And they do intersect. If F is in T, G is out. But they don't impact the other elements of the game enough to start a domino effect in that instance, and none of the other instances (H in T, for example), start a domino effect at all.

I just used this diagram:

___ |
___ F/H ___ | F/G ___
M T C Out
-K


F --> -G
G --> -F
Hc --> Jm
-Jm --> -Hc

Thank you for the diagram! I want to get better at recognizing LG game types. Is this a 3D Grouping game?

I'd call this a Basic Grouping game with a Mismatch. In 3D games, both Ordering and Grouping, you're typically tracking at least 3 things. Here, you're only tracking two things: the people and the offices. If each person went to either Harvard or Yale, THAT would be a 3D grouping game because it would give us a 3rd thing to track.

Basic Grouping games give you the groups, and the elements that will be placed into the groups. They also tell you exactly how many elements will go in each group. That's exactly what this game does. The twist is the Mismatch: only 4 people are nominated, meaning 2 must go in an Out Group.

Hope this helps!
