Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=26564)

The correct answer choice is (C)

This type of question is your best friend when it comes to Games questions. Always make sure to apply the proper List question technique. The best rule to start with is the rule that states that P is delivered either first or seventh. Applying this rule eliminates answer choice (B). Next apply the rule that states that L N. This eliminates answer choice (D). Now apply the M T rule, and you can eliminate answer choice (E). Of course, so far we have applied the rules in order, but that also happens to be the preferred order from a visual standpoint. The last two rules are less desirable, because they force you to deal with variables that can switch back and forth, and so they are harder to see within the answer choices. That is why we have held them until the end, not because they are the last two rules. The order in which you apply the rules to a List question should not be determined by the order of the presentation of the rules. Finally, by applying the LO split-block rule, we can eliminate answer choice (A), and it follows that answer choice (C) is correct by process of elimination. This question is very easy and you should have had no trouble with it.
