This is essentially an Ordering game, in which we have 9 spots, March to November.

What are we putting in these nine spots?
GGG, KKK, and HHH
The most important rule is the first one, which takes a bit of thinking/tinkering to understand.
RULE 1: It essentially just says "G and K can't touch". It forces us to use an H as a buffer in between any G and K.
RULE 2: Can't have three G's or three K's in a row.
RULE 3: G in august
RULE 4: K in october
If we put in those last two facts, do the first two rules tell us anything else?

Since we can't have G and K next to each other, Sept couldn't be G or K, so it would have to be H.
And that also tells us that July could only be G or H,
and November could only be K or H.

That's pretty much it. It's a weird game. The one game it reminded us LSAT encyclopedias of was Test 60, game 3 (loads of mulch and stone with a cleaning in between different type).
