• The meeting CANNOT begin UNLESS at least six people are present
  • Since there are two indicator words- cannot and unless, how should I go about logically mapping this out? They both imply opposite things. Cannot indicates some kind of necessary condition while unless indicates the sufficient. I mapped it out as /6-->B but the answer is actually B-->6 or /6-->/B. I guess Im confused because JY had us do specific processes for each of these indicating words.

      This is my thought process for these types of questions. I try to think of them in the positive/what can be, rather than in the negative/what cannot be. If that makes sense.

      The meeting CANNOT begin UNLESS at least six people are present

      So if the meeting begins, there must be at least six people present.

      meeting begins --> at least 6 people present
