Q13

[ShehryarB30]

Could you pls explain this one

Arguably, the most important part of this whole game is recognizing that there are only two, very scarce, very important OUT spots, and one of them is always filled with V/U, because of rule 5.

With Q13, the other spot gets filled up with T.

__ __ __ __ __ | U/V, T

That means the other five dinos (one of whom is the other half of U/V) must be in.

I, P, S, L, V/U | U/V, T

If we add the colors we know for I, P, and S, we have

g y r
I, P, S, L, V/U | U/V, T

Since we need two mauve's IN, that means we have this

g y.. r..m..m
I, P, S, L, V/U | U/V, T

Since rule 6 says that if L and U are both in, they can't both be mauve, we know that it must be L and V, not L and U.

g y.. r..m m
I, P, S, L, V | U, T

Four of the answers match things we have in the IN column, but (D) does not, so (D) is correct.
