John Webster
Critics have long been puzzled by the inner contradictions of major characters in John Webster’s tragedies. In his The Duchess of Malfi, for instance, the Duchess is “good� in demonstrating the obvious tenderness and sincerity of her love for Antonio, but “bad� in igno...

In a certain clothing store, the most expensive pair of socks sells for one dollar less than twice the price of the cheapest pair of socks. A customer notices that for exactly $18, she can buy three fewer pairs of the most expensive socks than the cheapest socks. What could be the number of pairs of...

Thanks a lot Rich! I think I understood why option C is the correct answer. Option C basically states that the suicides over the months of October and November were considerably lower over the previous and the later years whereas the same were quite high during the year of the crash, an observation ...

I'm not sure if this principle is tested on the GMAT but it was ...

Suicide Wave
The “suicide wave� that followed the United States stock market crash of October 1929 is more legend than fact. Careful examination of the monthly figures on the causes of death in 1929 shows that the number of suicides in October and in November was comparatively low. In only three other months...

Hello Experts,
I understand why option C to this question is correct. I believe its the 'reversal and negation' logic that has been utilized for option C. However, could you please help me understand the flaw behind the other options?

Hello Experts, I have a specific question with regards to option E. The solution that the author is proposing is regarding the 'Poor scientific work on the part of any one scientist'. However, if scientists work as a part of a team rather than alone, this plan would fail to be effective. Could you p...

Thank you Ankur! My only question is that if we are able to prove with the aid of numbers that there were more sales CEO's in comparison with the the number of marketing CEO's, we would be able to expose a classic number percentage flaw in the above analysis. Its quite possible that despite a higher...

Hello experts, I was going through Ron's solution to this question. I realized that we have to pick numbers whose LCM is 30. Could you please let me know how to pick such numbers?
