Hi Araujo,
This is definitely a tricky game to diagram! It's counterintuitive but this game is much easier if you make the days of the week the base, and use the floors as your variables. Here's what my setup looks like:

Then for the rules, I just diagrammed them like any linear game:
2
8
3
7
5
No consecutive floors together
4 = TH or F (you can also just write these as not laws in the diagram)
Now we start out knowing that the third floor is on Thursday.
The first inference you can make from that is that 7 must be on Friday and 5 must be on Saturday, because of the 3
7
5 rule.
Next, because 4 can only be on TH or F, and 3 is on TH, 4 must go on Friday (otherwise there would be consecutive floors on TH).
Lastly, since 2 has to come before 8, it is either on W or TH. But it can't be on TH, because 2 and 3 can't go together, so 2 must be on W.

Finally, we've only got 3 variables left: 1, 6, and 8. 1 can't go on W because 1 and 2 can't go together, and 8 can't go on W because 2 has to come before it. That means that 6 must be on W and 1/8 are in the remaining two spots.

From there the question is pretty easy because 1 is either on TH or SA, and answer choices B, C, D, and E can be ruled out based on the diagram.
Hope that helps!
