 		LSAT Puzzle Challenge
So, in #unfiction tonight, we were discussing various puzzle challenges we had undergone in our lives (Elec had a fun one he had to do for an interview or something). I described the Logic Games section of the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) and people were interested in trying their hand at the puzzles. However, they claimed that it was unfair since they had to scroll to see the entire question, so I agreed to put it here. You don't need to know anything to do these -- unlike, for example, the medical school admission test, these puzzles are designed to test how you think rather than what you know. An LSAT logic games section containing four games lasts for 35 minutes, allowing you roughly 8.5 minutes per game.

So. 8.5 minutes. That includes reading time. Have fun.

An automobile dealership displays its cars for sale in eight adjacent showrooms numbered 1 through 8 from left to right. On display are cars of each of four body styles: coupe, hatchback, sedan, and SUV. Five of the models displayed come with the base options package; three come with the performance options package. All cars are painted one of three colors: blue, red or white. In each showroom are cars of exactly one style, one options package, and one color, in accordance with the following conditions:

--At most, three of any body style is displayed.

The answers for #2 are B and D; D has to be untrue by definition. Did you mean to type "showroom 4"?
