& Two (or more) lines of a poem are said to rhyme when the final word of each line rhymes with the final word of the other line (or lines). Letter sequences, starting with the letter A, are used to describe rhyme schemes in a poem. For example, the rhyme scheme ABAB indicates that the first and third lines rhyme, and that the second and fourth lines rhyme; the rhyme scheme ABAABB indicates that the first, third, and fourth lines rhyme, and that the third, fifth, and sixth lines rhyme. Joe was asked to write a five-line poem with the rhyme scheme ***** , where each * is
either A or B. If the five-line poem that Joe wrote is such that the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme, and the third and fourth lines rhyme, then did Joe’s poem have rhyme scheme *****?
(1) The sequence ***** includes two consecutive A’s and two consecutive B’s.
(2) In the sequence *****, only the third and fourth letters are B.

For this problem why would both statements not each be individually sufficient? They are saying that only 2 is sufficient, but the reasoning for 1 being insufficient seems to be bad in my opinion. They say that it can’t be sufficient because it could be bbaab or aabba, but the problem states that it must start with a. Others argue it could be aabba or abbaa, but the problem explicitly states that joes rhyme must rhyme on 1,2, and 5 as well as 4 and 5? Any clarification would be helpful

I feel like I must be missing something because everyone else talks about it as if it is obvious on the forum

That is because, if you take just the first statement, it says that you get two consecutive As and two consecutive Bs, but doesn’r\t really specify the order in which that appear, Bs can be before the As in denoting the rhyming schemes.
Second statement, specifically mentions that the 3rd and the 4th would Bs. Therefore, fixing the other letter as A.

But given the other information available in the problem, doesn’t the fact that 1,2, and 5 must rhyme and it must start with A eliminate the BBAAB leaving only AABBA for statement one? Thats the heart of my confusion on this problem.

I know it is discussed in detail there. I came here after reading that and still having questions. Sorry if it appears as though I am ignoring the forum post mentions.

Disregard. I figured it out. They aren’t asking what joes rhyme is. They are asking if an arbitrary sequence matches joes rhyme. That makes abbaa possible.

Hi beingcj,

You don't need to worry about hard questions quite yet.

The 80% in Phase 1 applies only to the difficulty bands the week 1 sets are preset to, which are Sub 505 (Easy), 505-555 (Easy) and 555-605 (Medium).
Hard questions are not in there on purpose. The point of week 1 is that your arithmetic and setup are clean, because weak foundations make later topics feel artificially hard.

The two phases inside each topic work like this:
  • Phase 1 is 80% accuracy on 20 questions, or a streak of 15 correct, on those easy and medium bands.
  • Phase 2 raises it to 90% on 30 questions, or a streak of 20, on official-style questions. So the bar goes up within the week, but the difficulty band does not.

Harder questions come in at week 9. That is where the presets first add the 605-655 band and the target shifts to 80-85% accuracy, with questions arriving in any order rather than by topic.
Week 11 is then built specifically around questions above your level and how to recover when a section goes sideways.
