Logic clues
Strategy card
Logic asks what MUST be true, not what might be.
- Step 1: Write each clue in short form (A > B).
- Step 2: Combine clues to make new facts.
- Step 3: Test each answer: is it always true, or only maybe?
- Step 4: Choose the one that must be true.
Tip: "Some" and "all" are different. Read them carefully.
Worked example
In a secret code, DOG is written as FQI. How is RUG written in the same code?
- A: UXJ
- B: SVH
- C: PSE
- D: IWT
- E: TWI (the answer)
Why: Each letter moves 2 later in the alphabet (D → F). So RUG becomes TWI.
