Is my setup right for this game (or going in the right direction)?
It took me several attempts to create it, but it feels as if its not going with the questions...

I think your setup looks just fine, so long as you don't think J and P have a relationship just because you've drawn them close together.

I am guessing you feel this tree doesn't go with the questions because a lot of the questions either ask for or introduce a piece of information of absolute rather than relative position. This happens on tree games, but I would say this tree game has an unusually high number of such questions. When you have a lot of questions talking about relative position, it can sometimes help to draw (in addition to your tree) the slots we usually use for a numbered ordering game. This can help you track position for the questions that ask about absolute position.

For example, let's think about question 8. If M is the seventh field harvest, let's figure out what else we know in terms of absolute position. Well first, we can see that if M is not going last (eighth), then J must be going last because every other element comes before either M or J or both. Therefore, we know that M is 7th and J is 8th, and you could write this into a numbered ordering setup while looking at your tree. I don't think we need to worry about figuring anything else out, because we see J in the answer choices - and we know J certainly cannot be 5th since it must be 8th.

I hope this helps. If there are other specific questions troubling you with this game despite your excellent setup, please follow up with a post and we can work through those questions specifically!

I'm having a lot of trouble with these questions and my diagram matches the one you approved:

Could you provide a walkthrough of this game? For some reason, I can't even get past number 7. Is this a more difficult tree game?

Could I get some help with problems 10-12?
