Hello @N_Ares,That wording is tricky, and your reassessment of the rule is correct. At some point, we must have a YW block in Ghana. As long as that happens once, that rule is satisfied. Once it occurs, Y and W are free to be placed separately, as limited by the other rules.
Like you, I also made two diagrams based on the placement of V in Ghana. I know it cannot be first or fourth, V's trip to Ghana must be between his trips to India. This leaves us with two possibilities.
G: _ V Y W
G: Y W V W/Z
It seems like you understood this basic setup, but made an error with Z in Ghana. This explains why this is the only question that you missed. Although it is possible, Z does not have to visit Ghana. My diagram reflects uncertainty in those spaces. (Before I figured out that W can't be first in Ghana).
For this question, it is clear that neither V, W, or Y can take three trips to one place. So that eliminates C, D, and E. We only have to determine if Z can take three trips to France, which it can.
Overall, it seems like you did well on most of these questions, and I think this is a difficult game. You corrected your mistake with that YW block rule, and now you are prepared if you get another rule like it.

Why can't Y and W take three trips to France? Can anyone please explain this question?Gabe85 on September 8, 2020
each rep takes exactly 3 trips, and Y and W have to take at least 1 trip each in Ghana
