@Michelleb19,The game involves the following rules:
W -> +2
O -> P
~FT
~PT
~PY
The second rule does apply only to the case when O is selected, O -> P, but since we have to select 5 out of 6 colors, P must always be selected. Let's consider two scenarios:
(1) O is one of the 5 colors selected. Then P must be selected per rule 2
(2) O is not one of the colors selected. Then we only have 5 colors left and all of them must be selected - P F T W Y.
Because this game requires us to leave out only 1 color, we cannot leave out P without leaving out O and thus would violate the rule requiring us to pick exactly 5 colors.
Does this make sense?
Let me know if you have any further questions.

I don't understand why the answer to this questions: If one of the rugs is solid yellow, then any of the following could be true EXCEPT: is A. why wouldn't it be B.Emil-Kunkin on January 25 at 08:32PM
If a is true, we would have to have W out, and OP together, leaving F and T togather which cannot happen.B can happen, we could have
Y
F
