Free LSAT Logic Game: Grouping: Splitting

LSAT Blog reader Caleb wrote this LSAT Logic Game.

I've modified the game's questions slightly, but Caleb provided the core. All complaints and/or compliments about the game's topic and rules should be directed to him :)

However, please thank him in the comments for allowing me to share the game with all of you!

I categorize the game as Grouping: Splitting since it divides the variables into two groups, both of which are present. Some similar LSAC-written Logic Games are listed at the bottom of this post.

Please post your thoughts and questions in the comments! Next week, I'll publish a complete explanation of the game's setup.

If you are named Jacob or Hezekiah, or if you are a seagull, I'm sorry.


Here's the Logic Game:

Seven seagulls: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, will shit on the goofy hats of two men, Jacob and Hezekiah. Seagulls A, B, C, and D are male, and seagulls E, F, and G are female. Each seagull will shit on exactly one of the two men, and each man will be shit on by at least one seagull.

The following conditions must apply:

At least two male seagulls will shit on Jacob.
At least two female seagulls will shit on Hezekiah.
If D shits on Jacob, then F does not shit on Hezekiah.
If D does not shit on Jacob, then G shits on Jacob.
A and B will shit on the same man.
