TSJ, correctly understanding and answering these questions will depend on your initial game set up. Care to share what you have diagrammed in this relative ordering game?

yes its hard to explain without putting up the diagram but I have M before S which is before L, V, Z, and i have a line connecting O after V and Z. i hope that helps

The problem you are having may be reading the diagram. S is before L and V, but we have no inference regarding S and Z. All we know about Z is that it is before O.

Question 7 is a local question asking what must be true if V is 5th. Well we know that O is last. This will now make Z a floater amongst slots 1-4, as wherever we place Z, it will be prior to O. We have to maintain the order sequence of M-S-L. So that is what we know. What must be true is that O is sixth (E).
