The T-M-K or K-M-T gave me a headache. Am I violating this rule by having both T and K after M?
I interpreted the rule to mean that one of the two (K *or T) followed M (relatively) (hence why the answer to question 2 is letter C: M cannot be added first), but I didn't feel this rule restricts the instance of having K *and* T follow M.
The rule says that M must come before K or T, but not both, so it has to be in between them (relatively, not necessarily immediately). Perhaps this analogy will help: As part of a hazing ritual, you need to dunk yourself into a freezing cold pool twice. Because of local safety laws, you must drink one hot beverage during the ritual, but to make the dunking ritual somewhat difficult, you can only have that drink at some time before one of the dunks, not both. So, one of the dunks needs to be done before the hot drink, and the other afterwards.
That's wild that you could solve all the questions by avoiding two elements -- I wonder how that worked . . .

Also, is it right to say that there aren't that many inferences that one can get after setting up the problem and considering the constraints?
Yes, I agree, there was not much to infer.
