Can somebody please explain how answer choice B) is correct . My initial answer was choice C).

The new condition it introduces allowed me to make a deduction that somewhat forms into a simple chain like this:

⟋ N
L - P - J - O-K-M

I thought N would be excluded from our count since we can't determine the exact rank of it and since P - J are the new conditions brought in, we can also exclude that from our count, leaving us with L, O, K, and M . Four Possible names that can be determined .

Hi!

I'm not seeing #12 on page 1-26 in the course book. Can you please clarify where this question is located? Thanks!

That game is on pages 1-28 and 1-29, and question 12 is explained in this thread, David:

viewtopic.php?f=431&t=11010

The short answer is that we don't know where O will land, because N could be before it or after it. L is first, P is second, and M is last, and the rest are unknown due to the flexibility of N.
