Making Deductions and Inferences

The Power of Deduction

Once you have your diagram, the next move is to make deductions—conclusions that must be true given the rules.

Immediate vs. Hidden Inferences

  • Immediate deductions are obvious from the rules.
  • Hidden inferences require combining rules or looking for patterns.

How to Make Deductions

  • Look for restrictions that create chains (e.g., "If A is third, B must be fifth").
  • Find blocks or pairs that always go together.
  • Spot items that are limited to just one or two places.

Why It Matters

Strong inferences make answering the questions much faster and boost your accuracy!

Examples

  • Noticing that if L is with M, then N must be alone, based on the rules.

  • Realizing that only one spot is left for a particular item after applying all other rules.

In a Nutshell

Making smart deductions reveals the hidden structure of each logic game.
