15: P--N--O--T (From early to later).

We know that T comes after G and O (rule 2), and we know that N comes after P (rule 3). Hence, this condition adds that N comes before O. So therefore by combining the rules, P comes before O.

16: G, O are essentially the same as far as the rules are concerned, so by simple logic since they're both choices, chances are they're not going to be the correct choice. If P was in the second slot of day two, then N would have to be in day 3. That would mean that T cannot be in day 3, but that is problematic because now T has nowhere to go (rule 3 and rule2).

One challenge is getting the answer fast. I find that by locating the key rules, the ones that impact a larger number of variables, and seeing how a particular position can force this key variable set into unattainable positions helps to quickly choose the correct choice.

I am very curious about question 15 as well. I was able to narrow down my choices to C and D, and selected D as my answer.

I find that I get similar questions wrong when it involves floaters. From what I can see, both C and D could be right. HELP!

I understand that the set up with P>N>O>T with G>T as well.

Set-up

1) G H
2) P N
3) O T

From my set up above, it would appear that H has to be before O just as well as P being before O too. Please clarify.

Just because you can come up with one scenario that shows something doesn't mean it MUST be true. There's an alternate scenario in which we can have H after O.

However, there's no scenario in which P comes after O.

Make sense?
