Here are the last part answers to the LOGIC GAME TEST-RUN #2. Two more attempted the questions which was real good! Now let's look at chairs + who seats where.
PART 4 of the LOGIC GAME: The Nine Chair Circle
The Action
Arranging seven people and two empty chairs in a circle. The key issues on which the questions will be based are:
- Who can sit next to whom?
- Who must sit next to whom?
- How far away are some entities from other entities?
- Where are the entities with respect to the empty chairs?
The Initial Setup
Anytime you have an odd number of entities to place, you can’t imagine a standard circle sectioned off like pieces of a pie, because this will always come out even. So instead, try drawing nine dots spaced out in a circle, and number the seats #1 through #9, making #1 at the top and working clockwise for #2-9.
(Note: Assigning actual seat numbers is, in fact, a step beyond what you would normally do in this type of game-they’re included solely as convenient reference points for the following explanations.)
Since this game specifies how people will be seated in terms of being to the left or right of one another, we must also take into account which way is left and right. In circle sequence games, people always sit facing the centre of the circle; those sitting at the top of the circle, therefore, will have their left and right reversed from those on the bottom, who perceive left and right as you do. (Try to picture yourself sitting at the top of the circle, facing the centre, and again at the bottom; you’ll see how left and right reverse themselves.) Make a mental note that left always points clockwise and right always points counterclockwise.
