Is there a simpler way to complete this question if we didn't originally draw out the templates?

Hi ashahab1309,

The templates are probably the easiest way to see it. However, if you did not set this game up that way, there's another way to see that answer choice (C) is the one that cannot be true.

The key is in the SS block. You have to have two sales tours next to each other, and no other sales tours. The only way to do that is to have a sales tour on Tuesday (with the other tour on M/W) or a sales tour on Thursday (with the other tour on W/F). That's the only way to have the two sales next to each other. That means, no matter what, you have a sales on Tuesday or Thursday. You also can only have a sales on ONE of Tuesday or Thursday, because the sales tours must be consecutive, and there are only two of them.

That gives you answer choice (C)---you can't have the same tour on Tuesday as Thursday.

Hope that helps!
