LSAT 61, Logic Game 4, Question 20, LSATHacks

This question places J 3rd. We also know from rule 3 that M goes before J, so you should draw that as well:

M before J forces H to go after J – they must be at least two spaces apart. (rule 1)

What next? The L – F – GK block requires four spaces. That means they can’t all fit after J. So L, the start of the block, must go before J. This means L goes first, since it can’t go second (rule 5):

This forces H to go 5th or later, to obey rule 1. That means F must go fourth (so it can be before GK).

So our only two possibilities for 5-6-7 are:

• HGK
• GKH

This solves the question. D is CORRECT.
