I'm running a contest on the blog for the next week.
It's simple - you email me an LSAT-style analysis of a news article, online video, etc. You can find examples in my blog posts that analyze logic in real life.
If yours is one of the best 5 submissions, you'll win a free LSAT book, or two, or three.
The prizes:
One 1st place winner will receive a free copy of each of the 3 More GROUPED books: More GROUPED by Game Type, More GROUPED by Question Type, and More GROUPED by Passage Type (value: $160).
One 2nd place winner will receive 2 of the 3 More GROUPED books listed above (value: $85-$120).
Three 3rd place winners will receive a copy of More GROUPED by Game Type or GROUPED by Game Type (value: $35-$40).
Infinite 4th place winners can win eternal Internet fame by having their submissions published on the blog.
The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, August 31, 11:59PM Eastern Time.
Please email them to me in the body of the email, not as attachments.
Good luck, and I look forward to reading your submissions!

I've included below some suggestions of news articles that you might analyze. However, feel free to submit an analysis of any publicly-accessible article or video you find online.
Again, you can find examples in my blog posts that analyze logic in real life.
