Summary
The summary of the content focuses on strategizing for answering a global, must-be-true question in the LSAT logic games section, specifically dealing with the distribution of voyages for the ship named Freedom.
  • The question divides answer choices into two categories: specific voyages for Freedom and limitations on the number of voyages to certain destinations.
  • Initial analysis of the answer choices reveals a lack of direct evidence for three of the options, which suggest a maximum of two voyages to Guadalupe, Jamaica, and Trinidad.
  • A closer examination of the rules and previous answers eliminates one of the first two choices, focusing on the necessity of pairing voyages to Guadeloupe and Jamaica due to game constraints.
  • The key to solving the question lies in understanding the game's rules, particularly the requirement to have a Guadeloupe voyage precede any Jamaica voyage, which limits the number of possible Jamaica voyages.
  • The correct answer is identified by recognizing the impossibility of sending Freedom to Jamaica more than twice, given the game's constraints.
