This questions says that no Softcorp employees attend Handling People. That’s interesting, because normally there are two extra spaces in this game. But for this question, every remaining space has to be filled.
You should think about how to place TQ and RS. They’re the most restricted elements. And TQ is the hardest to place, because neither T nor Q can go in Feedback.
Now, think about the two things I’ve said so far:
- RS and TQ are the most restricted
- Every space has to be filled.
- TQ can’t go in F.
- There are only four variables: TQRS
If TQ can’t go in F, and every space has to be filled, then RS must go in F:
This may seem like a hard deduction. On logic games, you must always think through consequences. If TQ can’t go in a place, then who can go there? In this case, since only RS are left, we know exactly who must go in F.
This means that A is CORRECT.
Many people choose D. But Tran doesn’t have to attend goal sharing. This diagram proves it:
B is another popular choice. This diagram proves that R doesn’t have to attend leadership.
This diagram also eliminates E. Note that the fact that RS go in Feedback is enough to prove A correct. But on review or in case of doubt it’s worth making diagrams to disprove the other answers. The more diagrams you make, the faster you will get at making them.
With one more diagram, we can disprove the final answer, C. Note that on paper I would have just seen you could switch SR and TQ, I wouldn’t have drawn a whole new diagram:

Can I ask what may be a simple question? Why does every other space have to be filled?
Steve says
Here’s a biggie… in the text under the can’t-be-B diagram: feedback -> Feedback.

Yes, thanks for catching that! The page has been updated.

Hey Graeme,
Thanks for posting these explanations.
I noticed that there is a mistake in your last hypothetical for the explanation to question PT 62, Section 3, Question 15. You’ve included S and T together in the Leadership position. Switching Q and T from the Leadership and Information positions fixes the problem and has the same logical force.
Let me know what you think!
Michael

Thanks, that was an error on my part. I fixed it by making a couple of corrected diagrams.
Jonathan says
Doesn’t your diagram disproving B violate the third rule that Spivey cannot be with Tran?
FounderGraeme Blake says
Yup, that’s what I get for trying to make one diagram do three things. I fixed it, thanks!
