My previous post concluded with a turkey-carving demonstration by The River Café's executive chef, Brad Steelman. Normally, when the turkey is carved, we eat. But Brad had more interesting plans for these slices. Before revealing his creation made therefrom, however,...

97 baseball teams participate in an annual state tournament. The champion is chosen for this tournament by the usual elimination scheme. That is, the 97 teams are divided into pairs, and the two teams of each pair play against each other. The loser of each pair is eliminated, and the remaining teams are paired up again, etc. How many games must be played to determine a champion?

Anyone applying for a competitive career anywhere is likely to encounter these two nightmares: a verbal reasoning test and a numerical reasoning test. Well, it’s probably not a nightmare for everyone, since there are some geniuses who simply whiz through both tests without breaking a sweat. However, if you are the average Joe or Jane [...]

Before I start let me remind you that I haven't received by scores yet. They aren't available on the AAMC website until roughly 30 days after the exam. But! If I'm going to self assess myself, let me first start with the good. Verbal Reasoning. If there's one section that I've done very well on every MCAT practice test I've taken, it's the Verbal Reasoning section. And it's also true that I

The scores from the MCAT diagnostic and Science Assessment are in and I did just as poorly as I thought. To be fair, I scored better than I did on my last practice MCAT, but not by much. In today's class we went over a lot of subjects and strategies, but there's one thing that stood out that could help me out immediately, Kaplan's test taking strategies for Verbal Reasoning. Let me take one

DescriptionTraditionally, obsessive-compulsive disorder has been classified as an anxiety disorder, but there is increasing evidence that it has schizotypal features - in other words it is a belief disorder. This book describes the ways in which reasoning can be applied to OCD for effective treatment regimes. It moves comprehensively through theoretical, experimental, clinical and treatment aspect

Andrew Philip has just posted the latest in a long series of blogs about rhyme on his site Tonguefire to which I've just added a comment. It is a fascinating and involved discussion and one every poet should have a look at. We need more writers like this.

Tim Cowlishaw of the The Dallas Morning News thinks that the Rockies are probably going to win the World Series. That's OK. I mean, the evidence suggests otherwise, and as far as I'm concerned, it would be wise to pick the Red Sox, despite all the playoff crapshoot-iness inherent in a series of this nature. But it's not his selection that has me up in arms; it's the rationale, if one can call it that, behind his pick. Observe: It is because of their higher profile, their heavier payroll, their (alleged) home-field advantage and because of the general discrediting of today's National League baseball that the Red Sox are pegged to win their second World Series in four years. I don't see that happening. I'm not saying it's impossible for Boston to beat the Rockies. I just think it's unlikely for any number of good reasons. Here are 10 of them:You said they were good reasons, right? Just making sure, 'cause I'd hate for them to be bad right after you

Author: Raymond S. NickersonPaperback: 472 pagesPublisher: Lawrence Erlbaum; 1 edition (April 2004)Language: EnglishISBN: 0805848983(R)Lack of ability to think probabilistically makes one prone to a variety of irrational fears and vulnerable to scams designed to exploit probabilistic naiveté, impairs decision making under uncertainty, facilitates the misinterpretation of statistical information, and precludes critical evaluation of likelihood claims. Cognition and Chance presents an overview of the information needed to avoid such pitfalls and to assess and respond to probabilistic situations in a rational way. Dr. Nickerson investigates such questions as how good individuals are at thinking probabilistically and how consistent their reasoning under uncertainty is with principles of mathematical statistics and probability theory. He reviews evidence that has been produced in researchers' attempts to investigate these and similar types of questions. Seven conceptual chapters addre

Dear Useless Men,Yeah, I just wondered about that photo you printed on 4/11 with all the urinals featuring the cardboard "Out of order" signs. Won't the cardboard get wet? And once that happens, NOBODY will be able to read them. Follow-up question: Are those cardboard signs... Bio-degradable?Mr. IncredulousDear Mr. Incredulous, While I would like to claim that the photo was just a ruse that was set up for our use on the Useless website, the fact is, I had to go pee, and there was no urinal available. Fortunately, the sinks were in perfect working order.Clearly the signs won’t get wet because the urinals are “Out Of Order”. The whole sign in the urinal idea is completely male! I suspect that the man that is in charge of fixing the broken urinals went through a very manly process of reasoning. 1) The urinals don’t work, so people will need to know. Put up a sign.2) Putting sign on door of washroom, unnecessary. What if a man just needs to wash his hands? Put sign on urina

CRITICAL REASONINGNUMBER OF QUESTIONS: 14-15TEST SECTION: In the 75-Minute Verbal Ability section, interspersed with Reading Comprehension and Sentence Correction questionsFORMAT: Multiple-choice (you select one of 5 choices by clicking on an oval)SKILLS TESTED: Your ability to understand, criticize, and draw reasonable conclusions from arguments.Before trying out some example questions and how to solve them read the tips on how to go about solving the critical reasoning part.Important tips on critical reasoning questionsalways read the question stem first (before reading the passage). It will contain useful clues about what to look for and think about as you read the passage.that ask you to identify an assumption and those that ask you to find the choice that most weakens the argument, your task is to determine what must be assumed in order for the argument's conclusion to be reasonably inferable. In the latter type of question, your second task is to find the statement among the

Let's have an Argument!!Hurraah!! Another post :-)Before starting off...lock your prejudices and biases in a box and open it up only when you've reached the apping stage. CR has no room for prejudices. It's all about what's written in the argument. (Okay now...before starting the CR...make yourself comfy with the jargon...go through the doc which has definitions for bold face CR's). If you are not comfy with the jargon and you confuse between inference and conclusion, you shouldn't be reading this post. I am not going to tell you that!!Okay so you've done your homework then!! Let's start with the pointers:Familiarize yourself with the concepts tested. Make yourself aware of all the question stems.One very good way to learn about the logical patterns is to go through the AWA guide. Download
