Restrooms from the Perspective of an LSAT Logic Game

There's a women's restroom at work. It has 7 stalls. The following are true statements.

  • Stall 1 and stall 7 are handicapped accessible.
  • Stall 6 has a different toilet paper dispenser that looks better but the pull is harder.
  • Stall 4 and stall 5 have sloping floors.
  • Stall 1 is closest to the door; stall 7 is farthest away.
  • The toilet paper dispenser in stall 7 is impossible to use.
  • Generic rules of etiquette suggest that one avoid using the stall next to an occupied one, if possible.
Every day I walk in and have to evaluate the situation, taking all of the above into account. There's no such thing as just going to a stall to do what I came for. Stall 3 is the best, so that's what I go for, unless there's someone in 2 or 4. If that happens then all the calculations begin. It all needs to happen in the space of a few seconds so I don't look creepy.

And I'm supposed to get stressed that I'll only have 35 minutes to work 4 of these problems on the LSAT.

A Fine Day

Today was a fine day for entertainment. First, I got a long long walk, which of course went through the mall. I get to choose, after all, and that's where all the people were today.  We stopped at Lush, the most dog-friendly store at Hilldale, and I got to be the greeter for a while. You'd think a store like that would be hard for a dog with my fine discerning nose, since there are so many smells in there, but no. It all works, and besides, everybody pays attention to me, and that's much more important than smells. Other people at the mall noticed me too, of course. Black Friday is for putting lots of people in a place where they can see me, right? And then this afternoon I went to play with Shadow the kitten. Visiting his house is fun, and he likes me, even if he shows it like a cat. That means he's always  reaching out to swat me with his tiny cat feet. He thinks he's tough. It's cute. The best thing - when I was there I got some bacon grease. Jan (Shad...
