#2 each of the countries has many cities?
For this parameter, I interpreted it as each of the countries has multiple cities. Because many is more than one. But then parameter #3 says that each country has at least one city... which one is it? This portion confused me when it came to Q#16

I would interpret any logic game rules as you would interpret natural language instead of applying the same quantifier rules as you would to conditional statements for logical reasoning. I personally find that syllogism rules are confusing for a lot of students - and only use them with universal (all As are Bs) not particular statements (some As are Bs), but that's a matter of personal preference.
With that in mind, notice that the game rules talk about two different subsets of cities: Every country has many cities. But the game only concerns the cities that Hannah visits, so the only reason this rule is there is to tell us that Hannah must visit at least 1 city but there is no upper limit on the number of cities she could potentially visit in each country not considering any other constraints because each country has many cities. This rule tells us that when matching days to cities to countries we should not be concerned that Hannah cannot visit x number of cities in country X Y Z because there are only a limited number of cities in this country.
Let me know if this makes sense and if you have any further questions.
