Missed Deduction: Rule 4 is only relevant/impacting if the KN pair is in the fall.Please let me know if I missed any other deductions in the Game Setup. Thank you!

Please disregard my 2 prior posts and refer to this instead as my proper question. My apologies, the app keeps glitching out on me and my questions are not posting correctly:Could someone please list the inferences/deductions for this Game Setup beyond what is explicitly stated in the rules or as shown below? Just want to make sure that I am getting all of the deductions up front to speed up the time needed to answer the questions that follow. Thank you!
Deductions:
(1) L is the least restricted variable.
(2) The NK pair is the most restricted variable.
(3) Rule 4 is only relevant/impacting if the NK pair is in the fall.
SCENARIO 1: KN pair is published in the fall
fall: K N O P
spring: M
*L is an unrstricted variable and can be in either fall or spring
SCENARIO 2: KN pair is published in the spring
fall: P/M
spring: M/P K N
*O and L are unrestricted variables and can be in either fall or spring

@msaber,Great question.
The deductions you made from the rules in the setup are excellent, and
you did not leave anything out. With those two scenarios, you are
well-equipped to answer the questions in this game quickly.
Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!
