Very confused on this question. I made the inference (as articulated in the explanation, here, too) that J cannot be promoted. How then is J able to be promoted — especially because O automatically has to be promoted given what the rules/description say?

angelsfan0055,

There is no inference that J cannot be promoted. The inference in our setup thread says:
J cannot be promoted this year because both O and H will not vote for him.
Emphasis added.

Question 22 is asking how many people will need to be promoted this year to get J promoted next year. So there will be a total of two years and thus two annual reviews, and we want to get J promoted during the second of them.

I'm also not sure how O's promotion is relevant to this question. Multiple people can be promoted in a year, and, as pointed out, there will be two years of promotions anyway.
