I got it right, too.

I got a couple more right, but I guessed on them.  The first one I actually figured out, I think.

I got about 7, then my brain hurt.  I'm going to figure it out when I get home.

I took one look and clicked away.  I have to much work to do this week to give myself that much of a headache.

I tried again and still failed.

Alice, how did you figure it out?

Alice, how did you figure it out?

Mostly I took notes.

I labled a paper 1-20, then next to every number I wrote A-E.  I also at the bottom of my paper wrote A-E to keep a tally of how many answers were which letters.  I'd cross out letters that I knew couldn't be possible after figuring out other answers... like when you figure out which odd number is A, you can cross out all the A's for the rest of the odd numbers.

The key is not to start at #1.  #5 is by far the easiest as is #20 because neither of them involve answers to other questions.  #5 appears to rely on other questions, but if you read it carefully and pay attention to the available answers, the right answer is fairly obvious.

Then I went to questions #16 and #10 because they only rely on eachother for answers.  And there is only one possible answer.

I went to #6 and #17 next - there is more than one possible answer based off of those clues, but after you figure out some more of the questions, #2 really helps to figure out which one of the answers for #6 and #17 are the right ones.

The tally of how many answers go to which questions REALLY was the most helpful part.  Also, #13 is a clue to keep in the back of your head the entire time.

And I'm rambling, so I'll stop.  But I am such a dork for logic problems.

I have a three-inch thick textbook at home that taught me how to solve logic problems, but I still don't want to attempt this test.

It's really not that hard if you take notes... I promise.
