Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11080)

The correct answer choice is (C)

When P is displayed second, the RX block is pushed behind Q/T and must be displayed fifth and sixth, or sixth and seventh:

Answer choice (A) can be eliminated because from the original Not Laws R can never be displayed third.

Answer choice (B) can be eliminated because S must be displayed first or last.

Answer choice (D) can be eliminated because from the original Not Laws W can never be displayed third.

Answer choice (E) can be eliminated because X must be displayed sixth or seventh.

Answer choice (C) is thus proven correct by process of elimination.

Hi there, I'm not understanding why answer choice B is incorrect.
Can't you diagram it (in this order): T-P-S-Q-W-R-X?

I'm not seeing what the mistake is there/nor do I understand why S has to go first or last.

Thanks!

Edit: Wow, I'm embarrassed. I completely missed the rule that S has to be first or last. Somehow this was the only problem in the Logic Games I missed, but now it makes sense why I was so confused as to how I got this one wrong. I will be more careful next time...

Thanks!
