LG Question 2 Explanation
I skipped this question at first. I wanted to develop examples that proved some letters could be third.
I eliminated C and D using that method, using the correct answer to question 1 and a scenario from question 4.
However, I got nowhere after that. It’s easier to solve this question with logic.
We know M has to go in one of the first three spaces, so M probably affects who can go third.
If we place S third, then F and H have to go in spaces 1 and 2, because of the first rule.
There’s no space left to put M 3rd or earlier. If S went third, we’d have to put F, H, S and M in the first three spaces.
A is CORRECT.
When you’re stuck on a question, I recommend simply trying to draw. I figured out the logic of this question by putting S third, putting FH before, and looking at my diagram.
It took me maybe 7 seconds to draw that scenario. That’s a lot more productive than staring at my page, thinking ‘I don’t know what to do’.
That’s what I did at first, and what most students do. If you’re stuck, try drawing an answer. You’ll learn as you draw.

Hi, I think on test 69 logic game 1 question two your diagram has F in 1, S in 2, and H in 3 when it’s supposed to be H in 2 and S in 3. Probably just a simple error in filling it out (as you say right above S is in 3) but just wanted to notify you for future students who may get confused by that.
That’s correct, thanks for catching this! The page will be updated shortly.
