The second section of multiple choice questions on the LSAT is the elusive analytical question (logic games). To me, this line of questioning was the most difficult on the test, but luckily for you, it's the easiest to prepare for and boost your score with.
This type of multiple choice question actually consists of several questions in groupings. The test taker is presented with a set of statements, conditions, or rules that describe relationships between people, places, or other objects. After being presented with the rules, you are responsible for answering 6-7 questions that relate back to the rules. You will need to draw conclusions and deductions to answer the questions. Typically there are four sub-sections within the overall Analytical section.
An example would be if a bakery makes four types of cookies (chocolate chip, oatmeal, oatmeal raisin, and sugar) and the baker only makes 1 batch on Monday, 3 batches on Tuesday, the 4th batch on Thursday, if and only if the batch on Monday is repeated on Wednesday and Friday. Clearly not the most fun or easy to understand; however, there are ways to prep yourself.
Get a study book, or do what I did -- I got a specific tutorial book dedicated to breaking down the logic games and showing you precisely how to solve them. The book I used was 100 Logic Games. I drilled myself on these games everyday and made myself do 4 a day. I didn't time myself, because I was more concerned with learning how to master the games rather than speeding through.
Once you learn how to solve the different types of logic games, when test day comes, you'll be able to bang out answers quickly and fly through the section confidently.

Your example makes me hungry for cookies.
