This question places Goals in at 3:00 in the east theatre. So you should draw that to start:
As we saw in question 2, on a must be false question you can use an “easy/hard” framework to evaluate which answers are easy to do according to the rules and which aren’t. It makes sense to start with the answers which seem hard to do.
From the ordering rules, M has to be early, and OP have to be late. So any answer placing M late, or OP early is hard. These answers are likely correct and the best place to start.
Let’s look at the answers:
- A: This looks hard. It places M late.
- B: This looks easy. It places O late. (letting O go after M)
- C, D: These look easy to do, as S has no ordering rules. So any placement of S is likely possible. Also, the scenario I drew below shows that D specifically is possible.
- E: U is normally restricted, but since this scenario places G third, U can go anywhere before that. U’s only rule is that it must go before G.
So, only A looks hard. Let’s consider it. We know that O and P have to be after M. That means, if M is at 2:00, both O and P have to be at 3:00.
But that doesn’t work. This question already places G in one of the two places at 3:00. So if M is at 2:00, there isn’t enough space to put O and P after M. A is CORRECT.
The only way to legally place M in this scenario would be at 1:00. That leaves enough space for one of P/O to go at 2:00:
