Question about Q being in the morning...

The answer here is that Scrapbooking cannot be on Thursday, if Q is in the morning. But in one scenario I made: W: QN Th:SR Fri:JK None of these violate the terms of the rules, and when Q is in the morning we see that on Thursday we can have Scrapbooking.

@jskaggs,

Great question. The scenario you've listed violates the third rule of
the game, which states, "Quilting must be given on an earlier day than
both Kite- making and Needlepoint."

The third rule means that Q must be at least one day before K and N.

In your scenario, you have Q and N on the same day (Wednesday), so
this violates the third rule and can't be a possibility,

Does that make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi team - apologies, I think I am missing something here (but unfortunately can't figure out what). I didn't see the Guru set up, when I went through the game, and doubt I would on test day, so I plugged in the various options.

The two diagrams I had for this were:

W: Q , N/S
Th: K , J
F: N/S , R

W: Q , N/S
Th: N/S , R
F: K , J

I am not seeing why N can't go on Thursday based on the rules - as long as you have either RS or RN together? To me this appears in line with each of the rules...

The answer is S, not N. N could go on Thursday, but s cannot, because that would force Q and N on the same day,
