I've noticed a trend in the OG and even on MGMAT stuff and I'd like to get some input to see if my assumption holds any weight.
What I've noticed is in some problems answer choices will be spaced out closely and then you'll see a jump in the spacing. I've noticed the option that contains the first "jump" is often surprisingly the correct answer.
Example in problem solving #158 from the OG.
A. 15
B. 16
C. 28
D. 56
E. 64
C is the correct answer. This logic really only applies to increasing # answer problems when the jump is in the middle, but here's another:
Problem #226 in OG:
A. 10%
B. 33.33%
C. 40%
D. 50%
E. 66.66%
The answer is B.
And another:
#141
A. 97
B. 65
C. 35
D. 13
E. 5
OA: C
Do you guys have any input to this observation? Is this just random or is there a trend in some problems?[/i] It's possible I could be reading into this way too much.
