We recently received the following question from a student:

Page 159 of the 2017 edition of the Logical Games Workbook. Stimulus of problem 7 states R and T do not live in consecutively numbered houses. But explanation of T Not law at the very last sentence states "creating a violation as R and T occupy consecutively numbered houses", giving a Not law of T on house 3 and R on house 6, which is incorrect.

Our instructor Jonathan's response is below:

The explanation gives a hypothetical situation that would be violated if we were to place a variable in a certain space. In other words, when it says “creating a violation as R and T occupy consecutively numbered houses,” this means that this hypothetical would create a violation because it contradicts the rule that states R and T cannot occupy consecutively numbered houses.
