What is the maximum possible number of different schedules for the five lectures in which those philosophers who are discussed are discussed in alphabetical order?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5
e) 6
Which one of the following, if known, would allow one to determine the entire lecture schedule and identifiy for each week the philosopher who is lectured on that week?

c) the weeks that Kant, Mill, and Ockham are lectured on.
d) the weeks that mIll, Nietzsche, and Ockham are lectured on.

---> yeah, logic...the section that makes you think that you have none.
Everything else I feel I did fine on, but this last section was a doozy. I tried to just ignore the blatant tricks they were implementing (the each speaker lectures on a philosopher in whom he or she specializes seemed irrelevant to the questions) but I mean, I got done early with every other section, and this one, I didn't even finish the final stanza of questions. It was like drawing pictures frantically in the dots.
This Kaplan thing better work...
so friends, try your hand.
I know people like, ahem, Brian will probably get this (math majors...) but the rest of us poli sci./english/comm people may have some trouble.
If not, i'm just slow...i mean, "special"
