Judged

About Judged

Judged is one of Mind Loft's circuits: a single page that strings several of the site's own daily logic games into one sitting. The cases borrow the style of law school admission tests, so the day runs from sorting conditional statements to picking out a liar and answering questions on a scheduling setup.

The run opens with Ergo, where a few rules and one given fact decide which statements must be true, could be true or cannot be true; you file each statement in a bin and rule once. Sworn asks you to find who is lying under oath, Hearsay has you reason from what people say they do and do not know, and Docket gives one setup with five multiple-choice questions. Mind Loft describes the full run as five cases with Alibi among them; on the day we played it listed four.

Each case is worth 20 points, half for accuracy and half for speed, so a quick wrong answer and a slow right one both cost you. At the end your total is read as an admissions letter, with Yale taking 96 or more. Only your first attempt of the day counts, and a case you have already played on its own that day counts toward the run.

Judged is free in the browser with no account. Adding a name puts you on the daily leaderboard, which resets with the puzzle at midnight Eastern Time. It suits players who like careful rule reading and LSAT-style reasoning, and anyone who already plays Mind Loft's separate logic dailies and wants them in one timed sitting.

How to play Judged

1. Open mindloftdaily.com/judged and press Begin the exam.
2. Read each case's short briefing, then press Start to see its rules and questions.
3. In Ergo, file every statement as must be true, could be true or cannot be true, using Flip to see a rule's contrapositive, then rule once.
4. Work through the remaining cases in order: find the liar in Sworn, reason from what people know in Hearsay, and answer the questions on Docket's setup.
5. Answer quickly as well as correctly: each case gives half its 20 points for accuracy and half for speed.
6. Read your total out of 100 and the law school it earns, and add a name to see your place on the daily leaderboard.

Tips

• A rule reads one way only: if A leads to B, knowing B tells you nothing about A. Running a rule backwards is the commonest mistake in Ergo.
• Chain rules together before you start filing statements; most must-be-true answers come from a chain started by the day's given fact.
• Since speed is half the score, settle the rules in your head first rather than revisiting each statement.
• Playing a case on its own earlier in the day counts toward the run, so you can warm up on one but cannot replay it for a better score.
