LSAT 84, Logic Game 1, Question 3, LSATHacks

This question places O fourth. There are only four spaces left after O, and R, V and Z – L have to come after O. So the final spaces are taken:

That leaves S and T – M to go before O:

The only real restrictions are:

• T can’t go 3rd (M is after)
• M can’t go 1st (T is before)
• L can’t go 5th (Z is before)
• Z can’t go 8th (L is after)

You don’t need to write those out beforehand of course – I’m just pointing out all the limits. But in practice I just do those in my head when looking at each answer.

C is CORRECT. Everything else is possible in the diagram above.
