In your scenarios
G, L, F/S, M (H, F/S)
or
G, L, M, F/S, (H, F/S)
I'm confused about how this lines up with having two things in 601.
It looks like you're putting two things last, in 605?
If your scenario means
(GL) are in 601, then F/S is in 602, etc.
then you would be breaking the first rule that says that L is later than G.
If your scenario means
G is 601, L is 602 .... and (H, F/S) are the two in 605, then you're breaking the last rule, which says that two things are in 601, and only one thing is in each of the other four years.
=================
For this question, I would start by writing
L - M
on my page, and then I would look to link that with any other rules I had about L or M.
We had a rule that said G - L - F, so now we have
G - L - (F, M)
And we know M was in 601, 602, or 603.
So this forces
_
G L M _ _
We know that F has to be in one of the last two spots because it has to be after G and L.
And we know that H has to be in the last two spots because it can only go in 604 or 605. So we get
_
G L M (F, H)
Who's left to occupy the 2nd spot in 601?
Our floater S.
So we end up with
S
G L M (F, H)
and since this is could be true, we would anticipate that the correct answer will deal with the remaining flexibility, which is F and H in the last two spots.
A) Imposs - F is 4 or 5
B) Imposs - G is in 1
C) Correct -- H could be 4 or 5
D) Imposs - L is in 2
E) Imposs - S is in 1
Hope this helps.
