New Moon

    For this week, nothing fascinating happened except for that Spring has finally disclosed its wings and was ready for fly. People all over Seoul were coughing, sneezing, 
and having trouble adapting to the seemingly everlasting jealousy of Spring. As for me, I did some studying of my own. I, again, attended to some problems in the LSAT. I was obsessed with solving some logical problems that were not so FRIENDLY AT ALL.
   Yes, I know that I am not the only one having some problems at least as an organism 
living in the phase of the earth. But still, something tells me the game will go on a little bit more longer than any other folks around me. Of course, the game in this context refers to the GAME of playing along with LSAT problems. Accordingly, to get to the bottom line, I digged through a few problems doggedly, and this time, I did not feel as much frustration as I had felt before. 
   The problems I literally thought over and over were "MUST BE TRUE" questions. These questions were closely linked to finding answers for inference questions, except that they focused more on closing the gap that arose in inference questions. In short, one has to find the best choice that could indeed be inferred from the paragraph or the prompt. I will address some of the problems that I personally had trouble with in finding the answers. 
Here goes. 
 A man had three wives and four children(3 boys and 1 girl). He always went fishing in the weekends with at least 2 of his family members, always including a male. Whenever he went fishing with a girl, he ended up with catching less than 10 fish. Other than that case, he caught more than 10 fish. Last Sunday, he caught less than 10 fish. 
What can be inferred?
(a) The man sometimes went fishing with one of the boys
(b) The man almost always caught 10 fish.
(c) One of the three wives could have been included
(d) The man included a male last Sunday
(e) Last sunday, the man took one of his children.

    I know what you are going to say reading this blog. What in the ----- is this? Well, that's how I felt when I encountered this problem. It took me a while to figure out what the content virtually was and how it was related to solving this problem. The part where 'including a male' was extremely vague to me, befogging the problem more. After some time, I apprehended that in the man's family, there are basically 4 males( 3 boys and himself). I realized the trick was to fool people by making them think that a male was included, excluding the man himself. If one understands that the man himself is also a male, the problem comes in like a breeze. Obviously, since a male is always, without any exception, included in the fishing trip to somewhere, Thus, even on Sunday, a male will be  included since a male is always included. Simply put, the answer is (d). My opinion? Um..after solving some of these somewhat bizarre and make-believe questions, I get worn out. I have to go out for a beer or something, which I never do because it will just affect my health adversely. (If I really do drink a beer every time I solve LSAT problems)
But one thing is for sure. I am improving, though gradually. Maybe that's what matters the most: the fact that I am developing.
