Hi, the answer for this question is E, while mine is D.

I think the answer E "Saturday's special is quesadillas" conflicts with the rule that states "Quesadillas are the special the day before the gazpacho special is offered". That makes Quesadillas the special for Saturday impossible.

Hi Monsterbug,
For answer choice E, Quesadillas could be the special that appears twice that week so one would be the day before the Gazpacho special and the other could be on Saturday.
Hope that helps!

Hi, this answer still doesn’t clarify why D isn’t an option since in the options it could be. Thank you

wisesther,

G is offered once, so if G were on Friday, that would be the only time it's used. Q is supposed to go the day before G. But if G were Friday, the only day right before G would be Thursday. Q can't go Thursday, though, because a rule says that P is on Thursday.

hi! why would the answer be E instead of B? Why would B be wrong? I know the original question says that quesadillas come the day before gazpacho, and with the restaurant closed on sundays, saturday’s special isn’t the day before anything.

Hey Rachel22,

If it helps you to see this, you could play out the templates where the QG block goes. The only places that the QG block can go is on Monday/Tuesday or Tuesday/Wednesday. Regardless you will have to have a Q or a G on Tuesday, making B incorrect.

With E there is no problem with Quesadillas going on Saturday. Quesadillas would just have to be the entity that goes twice if that happens. You could have QGLPNQ in that order, making E correct.

I hope this helps and good luck with your studying.

Best,
Ryan

I agree with the answer could be B, with nachos being on Tuesday.

Couldn't that be true?

Hi Hope,

That wouldn't work because of the rule that Q cannot go on Friday.

Hope that helps!
