Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=17028)

The correct answer choice is (E)

The question stem establishes that T testifies first:

With T testifying first, U must testify immediately after S in order to conform to the first rule:

Of course, from the second rule, U must also testify earlier than R and W:

With this sequence in place, only two basic scenarios are possible, each based on complying with the third rule:

Accordingly, answer choice (E) is correct.

I don't know if I'm missing something obvious, but doesn't C say "Sanderson testifies third," and isn't that possible in the TM version? How is C not correct as well?

You've misread answer C, Andrew; It says Sanderson testifies FOURTH!

Read carefully!
