1) Yes -> in each row of the first two columns at least one 'yes'

2) No -> two 'yes' in a row for the first two columns

3) Yes -> exactly two instances where middle row is 'yes' and third row is 'no'

First response sentence construction:

All the zones allow camping in at least  some areas

Is at least some areas = at least one area?

If not the answer will change

egmat · Answer

Hi SteelBranch,

Good instinct to pause on the wording, and yes:  "at least some areas" means "at least one area."  They are the same threshold. "Some" means "one or more," so a zone satisfies the statement as long as it allows camping in  any  area - either in designated campsites  or  outside them (or both).

So the check for statement 1 is simple: for each zone, look at its  two camping columns  -  Camping allowed in designated campsites  and  Camping allowed outside of designated campsites . A zone counts as "allows camping in at least some areas" if  at least one  of those two says  yes . The statement is only  No  if you find a zone where  both  columns say no (camping banned everywhere).

Run down the table from the thread:

- Zone  1 : no /  yes  - qualifies
- Zone  2 :  yes  / no - qualifies
- Zone  3 :  yes  /  yes  - qualifies
- Zone  4 :  yes  / no - qualifies
- Zone  5 : no /  yes  - qualifies
- Zone  6 : no /  yes  - qualifies
- Zone  7 :  yes  /  yes  - qualifies

Every zone has at least  one  "yes" across those two columns, so no zone bans camping everywhere. That's why the answer is  Yes .

To answer your last worry directly: the interpretation does  not  change the answer, because "at least some" and "at least one" set the exact same bar. If the phrase had instead said "in  all  areas,"  then  the bar would rise - you'd need both columns to be yes - and Zones  1 ,  2 ,  4 ,  5 , and  6  would fail. But that's not what it says.

Bottom line: "some" = "one or more," and one "yes" per zone is enough.

Answer: Yes

Yes	No
		All of the zones allow camping in at least some areas.
		Exactly 3 of the zones that allow camping in designated campsites also allow camping outside of designated campsites.
		Exactly 2 of the zones that allow camping outside of designated campsites do NOT allow campfires outside of designated campsites.
