Setup and Rule Diagrams

Looks to me like you got them all, and I did basically the same thing when I did this game. I'm a template addict, so approaching it this way was very appealing for me. Nice job!

Can you clarify why can't L be placed in '22?

[Adam Tyson]

If L was in 1922, marissasalazar9899 , then T would have to be in 1923, since 1923 has to be one of those two. But when T is in 1923, you need R to be included, and R requires an OR block, and the only place that OR block can go is in 1921 and 1922. In short, when T is 3rd, the first three have to be ORT, followed by either L or Y in the 4th spot. There's just no possible solution when L is in the 2nd spot (or the 1st spot, for the same reason.)

Try it out by placing L 2nd, and then apply all the other rules and see what happens! You'll discover that it's impossible, forcing you to break at least one of the other rules.
