Q6

Hi,
I just want to be sure my thinking on this is correct. If we have the RM and TS chunks then is the only possible place those two could be spot 2,3 or 5,6 (either chunk can go in either spot)? That's what I see upon review (I missed this the first time). Therefore, Fuentes must be fourth and AC A is correct.

That's exactly right, vincent.meyer! Any other configuration of the two chunks would result in the meetings with F being consecutive. The only way to space them out appropriately is to have F in 1, 4, and 7, with the chunks in 2-3 and 5-6.

Check out the diagram:



Whenever you see a number of consecutive rules (either 'can't be consecutive' or 'must be consecutive'), you can rest assured that chunk spacing is going to limit the playing field!

I hope this helps!
