Question Help

If G has to come before any trip it takes to Jamaica how come there is not J after the G in answer choice A? Is this just saying if there is a trip to J -- G has to come before?Just a little confused.

@abbygharris,

The rule only requires a voyage to G every before every voyage to J - J -> G week before. There is no requirement for every G voyage to be followed by J.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello @abbygharris,

I believe this is the rule you are referring to: Guadalupe will be its destination in the week preceding any voyage it makes to Jamaica.

You are correct. Any time there is a J, G must come before it. J cannot exist outside of this order: GJ.

However, G is not held to the same constraint.

Here is the order given by answer choice A: GJMTGMT
Does this violate our rule? No, because every voyage made to Jamaica (week 2), is preceded by a voyage to Guadalupe.
G is allowed to be without J.
