Place S+T in the morning and you will notice immediately (as per rule 2) P cannot be scheduled later than S, so you ALSO place P into the morning shift. Now, with STP (not the band either), you must adhere to rule 3: either PH or TH, but not both.

Immediately, this should draw up some red flags based on numerical distribution alone: we can have either: 2-2-1 or
3-1-1, and never can we have 4-0-1.

ANS: B

mseggio,

All good, and note that putting S in the morning, while possible, is a red flag. So I'd be cautious of answers that do that, especially if they don't mention P, because there might be a violation of the second rule going on. That's ultimately what causes answer choice (B) to be correct, because it cannot be true.
