Game Setup

In this question, we have six meeting slots taking place across Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. There are two meetings a day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon.

Rule 1 says H and L’s meetings are in the morning

Rule 2 says J is scheduled for the day before G

Rule 3 says there can be at most one other person scheduled between G and K’s meeting. This means that they can be next to each other, or just separated by one person.

We can split the game into 4 diagrams based on the J-G block:

First, J is Wednesday afternoon; G is Thursday morning. This one is easy. H and L will go in the other two morning slots, and K will go right after G in the afternoon.

Scenario 1

Second, J is Wednesday morning or afternoon; G is Thursday afternoon. K can go either on Wednesday (when J isn’t meeting) or Friday.

Scenario 2

Third, J is Thursday afternoon; G is Friday morning. K has to go on Friday afternoon, and H and L will be Wednesday and Thursday morning.

Scenario 3

Fourth, J is Thursday morning or afternoon; G is Friday afternoon. K can either go on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning.
