I am making good progress toward my goals. First, I went out and purchased a quality LSAT prep book and am slowly making my way through it. I am having lots of trouble with the logic games, but I think I have nailed down a strategy for solving them. Take this one, for example:

Each of seven travelers—Norris, Oribe, Paulsen, Rosen, Semonelli, Tan, and Underwood—will be assigned to exactly one of nine airplane seats. The seats are numbered from 1 through 9 and arranged in rows as follows:

Front row: 1 2 3
Middle row: 4 5 6
Last row: 7 8 9

Only seats in the same row as each other are immediately beside each other. Seat assignments must meet the following conditions:
Oribe’s seat is in the last row.
Paulsen’s seat is immediately beside Rosen’s seat and also
immediately beside an unassigned seat.
Rosen’s seat is in the row immediately behind the row in which Norris’ seat is located.

Neither Semonelli nor Underwood is seated immediately beside Norris.

1. Which one of the following is a pair of travelers who could be assigned to seats 2 and 8, respectively?
(A) Norris, Semonelli
(B) Oribe, Underwood
(C) Paulsen, Oribe
(D) Rosen, Semonelli
(E) Underwood, Tan

As you can see, I have to draw the same puzzle for each of the five questions that accompany this mind bending exercise. I started by assuming that the questions were not independent of each other and quickly discovered that was all wrong. Then I tried to use the same drawing for each question and found that didn't work either. So now I am working on getting through the questions no matter how much time it takes and expecting to get better at these with practice.
