Liam can not be correct because that would require Greta. If Greta is in the sequence, Fleure and Pasquale would also need to leave a message. Since there is only six messages to leave, all six messages would be left already. However, since Pasquale left a message, Hildy MUST leave a message too. But there is no more spaces available for Hildy to leave a message. Therefore, Liam would not be correct.

or
L-G-F-P-T-L

If there were seven messages left, by having Hildy, rule number six would be broken.

Hildy must precede all of Liam's messages and if Liam is first then Hildy can not come before Liam.

Hope that answers the question about Liam!
