Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: viewtopic.php?t=33052)

The correct answer choice is (E).

The question stem places M on day 2, which immediately triggers the second rule, placing M on day 7 as well:

• ___ _M_ ___ ___ ___ ___ _M_ ___
   1     2    3    4      5    6      7   8

With M placed, the third rule comes into effect, instantly eliminating O from being played on days 1, 3, 6, and 8. And, since O cannot be performed on day 1, via the first rule it also cannot be performed on day 5. At this point, O is incredibly restricted, and only one day is left for O: day 4. Thus, answer choice (E) is correct.


Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice.
