Game Setup

This is a grouping game.  We’ve got three tables and seven people. Each table has to have at least two people. So two tables have two, and one has three (2 +2 + 3 = 7). Here is how we should draw the main diagram:

A third person will go to one of the three tables.

The next rule that I would draw is the last rule. L should sit at the same table as V. Since L is getting honors, this effectively makes V someone who gets honors as well.

This why you should always read over the entire game rules before you start. Because now when I diagram who is getting honors and who is giving a speech, I can include V in the list of those with honors, since V acts the same.

It’s very important in this sort of game to include that kind of diagram on who does what. I’ve listed out who is in each group and have also put a square around M, who has both honors and a speech.

Z has no rules.

An important deduction is that only P, Q and Z can go in table 3. K, L, M and V all can’t go there because they are receiving honors.

Note that tables 1 and 2 are completely interchangeable. It doesn’t whether someone is at table 1 or 2, they are both the same. Only 3 has special rules.
