If we know that two sessions are attended on day 3, we know that it's M and S (since T is restricted to days 1 and 2). So, we have M attending H or R and S attending whichever one M doesn't.

(C) is true because it's impossible for them to attend the same session on day 3, or else we wouldn't have 2 sessions attended. And, it's impossible for them to attend another session together since the only sessions they can go to are H and R, so throughout the game we know they will each do an H and each do an R.

Since day 3 has them already doing opposite topic sessions (to "cover" two sessions), it's impossible that on an earlier day they both did the same one because either S or M would have to be repeating the session on day 3, which is prohibited.

(A) could be true - S and M could do H and R respectively on day 1, and the opposite on day 3 - but it could also be false if either M or S instead attends a session on day 2, or both of them do.

(B) is similar to (A), just switch the days!

(D) could be false - M and T can attend a session together on day 1 or 2.

(E) could be false. There's no rule that every session needs to be attended. So, T could stick with H and R sessions, just like M and S are doing.

I keep reading the question, and the question never stipulates that the ACs have to deal with the 3rd position. In the rules, it says that T doesn't attend the 3rd day....and that every participant attends exactly 2 sessions. So, T has to attend an investing meeting (how your diagram illustrates as well).

I don't get your question. The answers don't deal with the 3rd position only. The new condition, that 2 sessions are attended on the 3rd day has ramifications beyond just that day. Please explain what a bit more.

This game has been a pain to understand. With regards to question 8, could you explain why M and S can't share a session (H or R) on days 1 or 2?

Oh nevermind, I think I've figured out why. I can't believe I overlooked rule restricting each employee to one topic. It makes sense now.

You make teaching easy!
