Logic Mastery Challenge (Grade 7)
The capstone combines counting, sets, AND/OR, and deduction — a single problem may ask you to count arrangements, then deduce which one fits extra conditions. The skill is choosing the right tool (multiply for the counting principle, eliminate for deduction) and chaining them carefully.
