For those of you preparing for the LSATs:
Inspired by Emily's post about LSAT preperation I've taken it upon myself to prepare a logic question to aid in the studying process. Please, don't thank me- it's the least I can do for you people. You know, aside from existing and allowing you to bask in my glorious essence.
Ahem. Anyway... here we go:
Subject A is invited to a formal cocktail party. She has two dresses, one black (dress M) and one white (dress O). Both are essentially the same style. Dress M (the black one) has exciting silver designs that sparkle when hit at the right angle by an adequately bright beam of light. It is sexy and makes subject A's modest chest look substantially larger. However, the hem of dress M is a bit shorter than that of dress O, and subject A is somewhat selfconscious about what she refers to as "stump legs." Also, the shoes that accompany dress M are three and a half inch strappy black sandals, and subject A is 5'9". Does she want to tower over potential date material? Dress O has exotic looking purple flowers with bright (yet understated) green leaves that offset subject A's olive complexion. It covers the more troublesome areas of said "stump legs" and also perks up otherwise sorry cleavage. The shoes that go with it are white sandals with a shorter heel, so that subject A would not intimidate attractive men (subjects B-Y). However, it is not as dramatic as dress M and subject A is not sure if it's quite as cute. But then again Hele- erm, I mean subject Z, said her dress was black too and it would look dumb if we- um, THEY- were dressed alike. Which dress should subject A pick?
Warning: This question is not as easy as it sounds. Think carefully. Then post your answer under comments.
